On the theoretical side, SA is 'wide' and when projecting shapes, the accuracy might be lost 'on the edges' of the projection (from what I understand). Is it advisable to make calculations/project per areas of specific geographic 'widths' (say West, Center, East of the country, or every 2deg) separately or would conic projection be accurate? Excuse lack of formality in the vocabulary, I'm new to working with the geo data and it is very much an intuitive analysis at this stage. | |
