Data Projection

Data projections are one of the most important aspects in digital mapping. Unfortunately, they can also be the most confusing. Because the Earth is not flat, representing a 3D sphere on a flat, 2D plane can be very difficult.

Some of the most basic mistakes in digital mapping are related to unknown or mismatched data projections.   

Windrose Data Corporation offers a complete suite of tools to accurately project and reference

Globe Overlayed with Grid System

raster or vector data to the Earth's surface. Our capabilities allow us to reproject data from one grid system to virtually any another system in the world. Even custom projections are no
problem. Our abilities allow us to project even the most obscure grid systems and datums.

Data that is not in any specific coordinate system can also be referenced. Our "rubber sheeting" process allows us to warp data to specific control points on the earth, giving it a preliminary referencing information.
