Projection. MercatorProjection

The Mercator coordinate system is a coordinate reference system. It is composed of :
  • a reference frame : the reference geoide, which is set as parameter of the options object,
  • a projection : the Mercator projection.
The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It became the standard map projection for nautical purposes because of its ability to represent lines of constant course
