Map Projection is a method of representing a spherical body (such as the Earth) on a two-dimensional surface (such as a computer screen). There are many different projections available, each of which represents the spherical curves of Earth in different ways. Because every projection distorts the data in some areas to a certain degree, choosing the right projection for the maps you want to view is important. For example, if you will be creating maps of a very specific local region of the United States, you might want to use a State Plane projection which focuses on that region. This will minimize distortion of the region you're working in at the expense of distorting other areas of the world. Because you will not need to display those other areas of the world, the distortion there is acceptable.

Map Suite support multiple projections and this sample shows some of the more commonly used projections.

In this sample, the map uses EPSG3857. There are two layers, one is ThinkGeo WorldMapKit. as basemap created by client-side, the other one is all the countries layer created by the server-side.

In this sample, the map uses EPSG4326. There are two layers, one is ThinkGeo WorldMapKit as basemap created by client-side, the other one is all the countries layer created by the server-side.

In this sample, the map uses EPSG3857. We render all the countries, US highway and Major cities with the custom overlay that’s coming from the server-side. On the server-side we use rotation projection with given angle and pivot center. We can change the angle by the button on the upper right corner, and when we move the map, the pivot center will automatically change.

In this sample,The map uses EPSG2163, we are overlaying all the countries with the custom overlay that’s coming from the server-side.
