SALtech – April 2017

Before you run screaming from the topic of this month’s session, I will make you two promises, OK?

1. No maths.
2. It will be not-dull.
   (‘fun’ and ‘interesting’ are kind of individual things, ‘not-dull’ I can promise  😀  )

So, are you still with me?
Here we go, yes, the topic is…..

Datums, Coordinate Systems & Projections

12 pm Tuesday 4th April
Map Collection & Collaboration Room
41.G03A

What will we be talking about?

• the difference between a datum, a coordinate system, and a projection
• vertical and horizontal datums
• why we have so many of each (and, no, it isn’t just to make things confusing!)
• steps you can take if you think something may be wrong with one of these settings
• steps you can take if you have been given a set of naked coordinate pairs  😮

See?
No maths  😉
