	Graticule and Map Scale
		A nautical mile is defined as one minute of arc at the equator.
		As one moves from parallel to parallel between the equator and the poles, the distance between two meridians one minute of arc apart, along a parallel, is no longer equal to ~6000 feet (or one nautical mile).
		As a result, scale and distance measurements are much simpler to compute along a meridian, between two parallels, because that linear distance stays pretty much constant between the equator and the poles.
