The Laborde Projection is an Oblique Mercator projection that is primarily used in Madagascar. It is a cylindrical, conformal map projection similar to the Mercator system, except the cylinder is wrapped around the sphere so that it touches the surface along the great circle path at a chosen azimuth from the centerline. It was adopted for use in the Madagascar grid system in 1926.
The "Laborde" projection has the following parameters:
-
False Northing
-
False Easting
-
Origin Latitude
-
Origin Longitude (centerline)
-
