transverse Mercator map projection — A conformal cylindrical map projection, which is in principle equivalent to the regular Mercator map projection turned (transversed) 90° in azimuth.

conformal projection/conformal map projection — A map projection on which the shape of any small area of the surface mapped is preserved unchanged, and all angles around any point are correctly represented. The scale, however, varies with the distance from that point. Also called an… … Aviation dictionary
Scale (map) — The scale of a map is defined as the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. If the region of the map is small enough for the curvature of the Earth to be neglected, then the scale may be taken as a constant… … Wikipedia
