The Azimuthal Equidistant projection is neither an equal-area nor
a conformal projection. The outer meridian of a hemisphere on the equatorial
aspect is a circle. Distances and directions measured from the center
are true. We recommend using the Azimuthal Equidistant projection for
coordinate systems in which distances are measured from an origin.
The Azimuthal Equidistant projection is used in
oblique aspect for atlas maps of continents, and in world maps for aviation.
The "Azimuthal Equidistant" projection has the following parameters:
False Northing
False Easting
Longitude of natural origin
Latitude of natural origin
Xy plane rotation (optional)
