Contents. Module:Location map/data/Canada. Module:Location map/data/Canada is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a Lambert conformal conic projection map of Canada. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.
Canada has a vast geography that occupies much of the continent of North America, sharing a land border with the contiguous United States to the south and the U.S. state of Alaska to the northwest. Canada stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west; to the north lies the Arctic Ocean. [1]
Latitude. The latitudinal centre of Canada (including islands, but excluding Canada's claim to the North Pole) is a line at 62 degrees 24 minutes North. Intersection of latitude and longitude. The intersection of these two lines is one definition of the centre point of Canada, as explained by the Atlas of Canada's website:
Longitude lines are perpendicular to and latitude lines are parallel to the Equator. A geographic coordinate system ( GCS) is a spherical or geodetic coordinate system for measuring and communicating positions directly on Earth as latitude and longitude. [1] It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used of the various spatial reference ...
