Algorithm : \begin x &= \frac \left(\lambda \cos \varphi_1 + \frac\right), \\ y &= \frac \left(\varphi + \frac\right), \end where ''λ'' is the longitude relative to the central meridian of the projection, ''φ'' is the latitude, ''φ'' is the standard parallel for the equirectangular projection, sinc is the unnormalized cardinal sine function, and : \alpha = \arccos\left(\cos\varphi \cos \frac \right). In his proposal, Winkel set : \varphi_1 = \arccos \frac. A closed-form inverse mapping does not exist, and computing the inverse num ...
