SALtech – April 2017

Posted on April 3, 2017 by geoscat

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

No maths.
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 😉
