Answer:

Explanation:

The Earth is curved and maps are flat. Map projection is the mathematical process of flattening out the curved Earth onto a flat piece of paper or computer monitor. While in theory there is an infinite number of possible map projections there are only a few that hikers of Washington State would typically encounter. It is also important to remember that all datums use an idealized mathematical abstraction of the physical Earth that is much smoother than the earth’s physical surface .In many large cities, streets may have both a North/South or East/West address numbering system, and this sometimes confuses online map systems as they try to tell which address a user may be requesting, and whether an business should be displayed at one end of a street versus another. The slight differences between various mapping systems can also result in pinpointing errors. When an address is geocoded for one particular mapping system, and then that set of geographic coordinates is carried over for display in another mapping system, slight variances between the two can result in significant errors. This particular issue is likely very rare, and probably only affects areas of particularly dense numbers of locations, such as in larger cities.
