What is another word for conformal projection?
Pronunciation: [kənfˈɔːmə͡l pɹəd͡ʒˈɛkʃən] (IPA) 
A conformal projection is a map that preserves the angles at each point on the Earth's surface, making it useful for navigation and surveying. However, there are several synonyms for this type of projection. One alternative term is "orthomorphic projection," which also means that the map preserves the shapes of small features. Another term is "rectangular projection," as the map's grid often appears as a rectangle. Additionally, some call it a "tangent plane projection" because it can be imagined as wrapping a flat surface around a point or line of contact with the Earth's surface. Finally, some cartographers use the term "isogonal projection," which means that the angles between intersecting lines on the map are equal to their corresponding angles on the globe.
