gnomonic in a sentence

Examples

2. Such projections display all great circles as straight lines, resulting in any line segment on a gnomonic map showing the shortest route between the segment's two endpoints.
3. Such projections display all great circles as straight lines, resulting in any line segment on a gnomonic map showing a the shortest route between the segment's two endpoints.
4. This gnomonic technique also provides a proof that the sum of the first " n " odd numbers is " n " 2; the figure illustrates 64 8 2 . }}
5. Indeed, there is a seldom-used map projection, namely the gnomonic projection, where all great circles are shown as straight lines, but in this projection, the distance scale varies very much in different areas.
