Example

  1. The British National Grid (BNG) uses Transverse Mercator. Note that the Transverse Mercator Spatial Reference Frame is often used to describe areas that have greater north-south than east-west extent, and that distortion of scale, distance, direction and area increase away from the central meridian.
