= Jordan Transverse Mercator
{wiki=Jordan_Transverse_Mercator}
The Jordan Transverse Mercator (JTM) is a specific geographical coordinate system used in Jordan, based on the Transverse Mercator projection. This type of projection is commonly employed for mapping and surveying purposes because it provides a good representation of smaller regions by minimizing distortion in distance, area, shape, and direction. The JTM is particularly useful for local and national mapping in Jordan, allowing for precise positioning and navigation within the country.
