QGIS Course 2 Lesson 4 - Coordinate Reference Systems Part 2 Distortions in coordinates sytems

Hi and welcome to the fourth lesson in DMAD - Marine Mammals Research Association's second free QGIS course. This course if for beginners to intermediates. When we move from a spherical surface to a planar surface we get distortions. These can be angular (i.e. north will no longer be north) or can be distortions in distance or areas. We will go through each and give examples.

Hi Tim, thank you, this is really interesting! Just to let you know, I found this video only on UA-cam, in the DMAD website it loads the video for lesson 3 again. Thank you for doing this!
