linework is placed, and how boundary areas are calculated. Because
projections define how the curved surface of the earth is represented on a
flat map, they play a direct role in the positional accuracy and
measurement behavior of GIS data. Understanding why projections matter—and
how to choose an appropriate one—helps ensure COGO editing behaves
predictably without adding unnecessary complexity to the workflow.
