REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the translated instruction for mapping projection systems that were issued by the Institut Géographique National (IGN) in Paris, France and on the map projection used for Cameroon. The IGN instruction notes the discontinued use of the projection system utilized by the French Overseas Territories and Departments and the adoption of the new Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system. However, the use of UTM was not absolutely implemented because of some difficulties in making ellipsoids consistent with other countries. Meanwhile, it presents topographic mapping data from Cameroon that were issued by the European Petroleum Survey Group.
