Introduction
This presentation is in no way new or
genius. It solely presents the ideas and
developments from colleagues: Knig
und Weise (1951). Map Projections
Grafarend and Krumm (2006) appeared
shortly before this paper was written, but
some comments are included. The single
steps in performing the mapping from
geographical (geodetic) coordinates to
Transverse Mercator coordinates (and
reverse) are outlined but not proved. The
formulas given are valid at high/low
altitudes with only singularity at the

may be related to the control setup above.
When the input latitude goes beyond the
limits it is forced to the interval by
adding/subtracting 2 to the latitude and
the northing N is either increased or
decreased by 4Qm . The reverse situation
is handled in a similar way.
Conclusion
It has been demonstrated that it is possible
in a fairly simple sequence of very efficient
mappings to transform the geographical
coordinates to Transversal Mercator
Coordinates.
It has been pointed out that there is a
substantial difference in expanding series
in powers of the third flattening n against
in powers of the eccentricity e2. Due to the
relation between the two parameters any
series expansion may be reformulated to
the other.
To illustrate the accuracy the size of some
coefficients depending on the third
flattening n have been calculated to the
derived value of n in the Geodetic
Reference System 1980 (GRS80).
