麦卡托式是最常用的世界地图投影法。

The UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each based on the Transverse Mercator projection.

地理学投影（维度和经度）之后，最常用的投影是横向 Mercator 投影。

This was not a big problem from 16th-century sailors, of course, and the Mercator projection remains popular to this day.

当然，对于16世纪的水手来说，这不是一个大问题，如今 仍然很普遍。
