Thank you so much, @jaymesbawned! Geographic Information Systems is another field I might start blogging about in the near future! It really is a tough job to precisely project a 3D object on a 2D surface as it is practically impossible to depict the third dimension (altitude) without utilizing graphical elements and patterns. Thanks for reading!
