Krovak

The Krovak Projection was created and used in Czechoslovakia in the early part of the 20th century. It is an oblique version of the Lambert Conformal Conic projections with a pseudo standard parallel that intersects the centerline of the projection at a defined azimuth. The projection accurately preserves scale and area along the pseudo standard parallel. It is primarily used in the Czech Republic.

The "Krovak" projection has the following parameters:

  • False Northing

  • False Easting

  • Origin Latitude

  • Origin Longitude (centerline)

  • Latitude of True Scale

  • Azimuth
