Generally all projections which are not placed into the class »TRUE Projections«  can be called untrue projections. Into the program GridMaps we differentiate
  • pseudoconic projections
  • pseudoazimuthal projections
  • pseudocylindrical projections
  • polyconic projections
  • modified azimuthal projections  and
  • miscellaneous projections.
