Abstract

 This article has been prepared with the purposes of giving information about the mapping projections
and noticing which points should be taken into account in using these projections. In the article not all of the
mapping projections have been described but the two of them, which are mostly used in our works; namely
Universal Transverse Mercator and Lambert's Conform Projections which retains the angles have been considered.
In the article, for the degree-UTM conversion programs, the importance of the determination of mid-meridian
of the zone has been emphasized and the reason of why our maps drawn in Lambert's projections system
does not coincide with those drawn in the neighboring countries has been investigated. Further, in the article, the
mathematical models used in the map projections have been considered and the interests of human being and
works done about the shape and dimensions of the earth in the archaic era has been described under the title of
Historical Development.

Keywords
