Projections

The map above represents the state of Florida in the United States of America.  On the left hand side the map is showing the use of UTM projection while the map on the right hand side it is using the Albers projection. The map also shows the comparative areas for Alucha, Escambia, Polk and Miami-Dade, which are counties under the state of Florida. This activity covered several topics in map projection. These include re-projecting shape files and raster, defining projections, adding a new attribute field and calculating geometry in an attribute table.
