What Is Geographical Location?
Geographical Location is defined as the position on the earth. The position on the earth is expressed in a coordinate system, This coordinate system is called the GIS coordinate system.
There are two types of co-ordinates system is used in the GIS coordinate system.
1. Geographical Coordinate system 2. Projected coordinate system
1. Geographical Coordinate System- Geographical coordinate system measures the position by taking the account the curvature of the earth's surface.
2. Projected Coordinate System. The projected coordinate system is the transformation of GIS to flat 2D. This is a linear measurement coordinate. It is also used in cad drawing.
To Set The Geographic Location By Specifying Latitude and Longitude
Insert the map image in the drawing area of AutoCAD. Set the scale of the map according to the Scale bar or grid distance of the map.
Go to the workspace setting and set planning and analysis
