Description
This property is a shortcut to IMap::SpatialReference. The Map's SpatialReference will be set automatically to match the SpatialReference of the first Layer added to its layer collection. If the first Layer added has no SpatialReference defined, the coordinates in the Layer will be analyzed. If the coordinates range from 0 - 180, the MapControl assumes the layers data is geographic (i.e. contains unprojected coordinates in latitude and longitude) and the SpatialReference will appear as "GCS_Assumed_Geographic_1". If the MapControl cannot determine that the data source is geographic, the current SpatialReference will be "Unknown". The SpatialReference is also "Unknown" if the MapControl contains no data.
