Vaľko, J., Orságová, Z.: Slovakia in map projections with minimal deformations. Kartografické listy, 1996, 4, 5 figs., 6 tabs., 4 refs.

Abstract: The splitting of Czechoslovakia into two independent states offers the guestion of the new map projection of Slovakia. From among 3 analyzed cartographic projections, the most acceptable with regard to distortions are Tissot’s projections with minimal deformation.

Keywords: Map projections, stereographic projections, conformal conic projections, line scale factor, area distortion, angular distortion, coordinate systems
