觀測中國電子地圖諸網站常見座標系統, An observation of Chinese web mapping sites shows various non longitude / latitude systems in use.

Very many of them are plain Mercator projections. They are visible in the URLs generated when "sharing" map views with friends.

Also a factor is the state mandated distortion... 另需考慮政府所規定之偏移…
