    Conformal - Large and Medium Scale Mapping
  • ETRS-LCC (ETRS89 Lambert Conformal Conic CRS):
    Conformal small scale mapping
  • ETRS-LAEA (ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area CRS):
    Equal Area (Authalic) Mapping/e.g. Statistical Maps -  all scales
Based on the European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89)
          Ellipsoid: GRS80 (New International)
