Coverage

The workbench computes in the browser: there is no server to reach. What matters is the projection zone — and that depends on latitude.

The four Lambert Maroc zones

Each zone is a conformal cone built on a standard parallel: distortion grows with the distance from it. Hence the simple rule below, and the check against a known control point before any plan is delivered.

Central meridian: 5° 24′ west. Merchich datum, Clarke 1880 ellipsoid (a = 6,378,249.2 m), tied to WGS84 by the three-parameter transformation the workbench applies.

Zone Standard parallel Latitude band False origin X0 / Y0
N Morocco North 33,3° ≥ 31,5° 500 000 / 300 000
S Morocco South 29,7° 31,5° – 27,9° 500 000 / 300 000
SN Morocco Sahara North 26,1° 27,9° – 24,3° 1 200 000 / 400 000
SS Morocco Sahara South 22,5° ≤ 24,3° 1 500 000 / 400 000

The twelve regions

The centre of each region decides the zone shown. A site on the edge of a band is checked on the spot: the workbench reprojects on demand, and the zone selector stays open.

Elevation and long profile

Elevations come from 30 m SRTM tiles sampled in the browser: the same in Tangier as in Dakhla, with no key and no account. Where a tile is missing — open sea, saturated sand — the altitude stays empty rather than invented.

The workbench does not replace an official survey: it prepares, checks and draws. A binding boundary still needs a sworn surveyor and control points tied to the national network.
