![]() ![]() Meridian project as a horizontal straight line through the North Northern parts of meridians 90° away from the central Lines are presented as one vertical line in the middle of the Transverse Mercator is a transverse cylindric projection. The subsections below describe the transverse Mercator projection properties. The transverse Mercator projection is shown centered on Greenwich. It is available in ArcGIS Pro 1.0 and later and in ArcGIS Desktop 8.0 and later. The Gauss-Krüger name refers to the ellipsoidal form reevaluated by Louis Krüger in 1912. First formulas with ellipsoidal correction were developed by Carl F. The spherical version of the projection was presented by Johann H. ![]() Various countries use this projection for their topographic maps and large-scale coordinate systems. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system and Gauss-Krüger coordinate systems are based on the transverse Mercator projection and the State Plane Coordinate System uses it for all north-south zones. This projection is best suited for north-south oriented areas. This centering minimizes distortion of all properties in that region. ![]() The central meridian is placed in the center of the region of interest. The result is a conformal projection that does not maintain true directions. The transverse Mercator projection, also known as the Gauss-Krüger projection, is similar to Mercator except that the cylinder touches the sphere or ellipsoid along a meridian instead of the equator.
