Why Web Mercator
Why: it’s everywhere, it’s free FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Why: familiar FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Why: easy FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Why: fair to the dateline FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Some reasons to avoid Web Mercator
One reason to rule them all FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th,
Bucharest
Area distortion in web mercator FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Equal-area maps to the rescue Lambert azimuthal equal area Mollweide
Equal Earth FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
FAO example FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Distance perception http://braincrunch.tumblr.com/post/23672142073/mercators-egg FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Equidistant maps to the rescue FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Example: weather radar maps https://weather.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=xsm FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Who ate the poles?! FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest

Bucharest
FAO Species Distribution FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
And then… legislation FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
And then… AUTO codes FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Handling all these projections
Should be simple no? FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
One (tragic) example FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest UTM 32N
What’s going on? FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Automate! With APH FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Step 1: which data to read Requested Read FOSS4G 2019,
August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Step 2: cut excess data FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Step 3: data wrapping Requested Read FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th,
Bucharest
Step 4: densification FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Step 4: densification FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Step 5: reproject FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Step 6: detect dateline crossing FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Some side by side examples FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
PDC Mercator, EPSG:3832 Antactica was here… Funny Greenland … FOSS4G
2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Lambert conf. conic, EPSG:2225 ?!! FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Datum change, ED50, EPSG:4230 FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
UTM32N, EPSG:32632 FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
No reprojection, but Pacific centered Would really like to see
Americas here… FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Some other hard data
Data between 0 and 360 FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Satellites satellites FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
And more satellites FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest
Final words
