| − | A plane-rectangular coordinate system is by definition a flat surface. '''Geodetic positions on the curved surface of the earth must be “projected” to their corresponding plane coordinate positions.''' Projecting the curved surface onto a plane requires some form of deformation. Imagine the stretching and tearing necessary to flatten a piece of orange peel. In California the Lambert Conformal map projection is used to transform the geodetic positions of latitude and longitude into the y (Northing) and x (Easting) coordinates of the CCS83.}}

| − | We read that the spherical coordinates are projected '''''to''''' the plane coordinates. Not the other way around.
