Projections and Their Parameters
The next tables indicate the parameters applicable to each projection, which are listed in the order they
appear in the relevant coordinate system lines in the MAPINFOW.PRJ file (the first table lists the first six
parameters and the second table lists the next six parameters). The projection type is the equation or
equations used by a coordinate system. The following list names the projections MapInfo uses and gives
the number used to identify the projection in the MAPINFOW.PRJ file:
