Graticule
Describes the appearance of meridians, parallels, poles, and map symmetry.

Features
Describes the properties of the projection and identifies map distortion.

Parallels
Describes the standard parallels of projection.

Remarks
Describes the history of the projection and relationships to other projections.

Limitations
Describes any restrictions on using the projection.
