Convergence Factor
Hi folks
I have to do a presentation on map reading and in studying the ICAO 1:500,000 chart I note that it has a convergence factor of
0.78829. If this is a Lambert conformal Conic projection does this assume a mean lattitude of 52 degrees?
And secondly, so what! Why is it important to know the convergence factor and what does it really mean?
cheers
