The magnitude of the projection distortion is in accordance with the projection system used in a particular country, for which official tables are generally available. The used formula is valid for cylindrical projections such as that of Gauss-Krüger.
In countries where the scale factor is not unity, this formula cannot be directly applied.
Multiply by 10e-6 before applying the correction value to a slope distance [m].
