17-2 Special Mapping Equations
Setting up special equations of the mapping “sphere to cone”. Equidistant, conformal, and
equal area mappings. Ptolemy, de L'Isle, Lambert, and Albers projections. Point-like North
Pole.
17-21 Equidistant Mapping (de L'Isle Projection)
The general mapping equations for this type of mappings are derived from the postulate ( 17.6 )
such that ( 17.7 ) holds. The integration constant c has to be determined from the additional
requirement that the image of the North Pole is a point or a circular arc. Setting c =0,a
point-like image of the North Pole is attained.

17-211 Equidistance and Conformality on the Circle-of-Contact (C. Ptolemy, 85-150 ad ),
Compare with Fig. 17.5
We require the circle-of-contact to be mapped equidistantly and thus state ( 17.8 )fromwhich—
together with the cone constant n =sin Φ 0 —the integration constant c is determined as ( 17.9 ).
