Adaptation of the standard Mercator projection
Transverse Mercator projection
The transverse Mercator projection (TM) is an adaptation of the standard Mercator projection for transverse aspect. The TM is widely used in national and international mapping systems around the world, including the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). When paired with a suitable geodetic datum, the transverse Mercator delivers high accuracy in zones less than a few degrees in east–west extent.
