Antuk nincapang hal puniki, paregangan kangin-kauh peta sane nenten polih kahindarin, sane manincap salantur matambahne jarak saking khatulistiwa, kasarengin saking proyeksi Mercator teken paregangan Kaja-kelod sane pas, kantos ring sabilang tongos titik skala kangin-kauh inggih punika pateh teken skala kaja kelod, dadosne proyeksi peta konformal.
In accomplishing this, the unavoidable east-west stretching of the map, which increases as distance away from the equator increases, is accompanied in the Mercator projection by a corresponding north-south stretching, so that at every point location the east-west scale is the same as the north-south scale, making it a conformal map projection.
