Abstract

This short paper presents a highly accurate module of surface deformation which permit to calculate, once and for all, the ellipsoid area corresponding to the area measured on nautical charts on Mercator-Secant. The accuracy of the measured surface increases together with the increase of the scale because it depends on the graphic error.
