Annex 2: Background to Cartography and Raster Images
A2.1 Coordinates
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Beginner; general GIS training
Each point on a flat (2-dimensional) map can be defined by its horizontal and vertical distances from a reference point. (The reference point is defined by the projection, see Annex 2.2 for background, Annex 8 for parameters)
If LUPMIS is installed correctly (see Annex 1.1), you can see by the coordinate display at the bottom left, if the map layer is in:
UTM, with UTM numbers ('large numbers') and lat / long ('small numbers'), or
lat / long, with only lat / long ('small numbers') displayed.
