Polyconic Projections

A projection which consists- of a series of cones with their apexes all on the extension
of the earth's polar axis are placed over the sphere. "-The equator appears as a
horizontal line and the poles are points at their correct surface distance from the
equator. This is not suitable for large-scale maps. It is particularly ideal for portraying
countries which extend in a north-south direction such as the Philippines, Chile, Finland,
Sweden and Argentina.

Gnomonic Projections

Maps portrayed by this projections are used for navigation by trans-polar or trans-
oceanic routes. They are also for radio and seismic work because the waves in more or
less great-circle directions.

Type of photographs taken by a precision camera mounted in an airplane, balloon or

spacecraft flying over the area.
