Hillshading is used to create a three-dimensional effect that provides a sense of land relief. Shadows drawn on a map simulate the effects of sunlight falling across the surface of the landscape.

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This map of Le Grand-Bornand uses Plate Carree projection. The Plate Carree projection is a simple cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. It has straight and equally spaced meridians and parallels that meet at right angles.

All projections from a sphere to a plane are distorted. The drawback of the Plate Carree projection is that it doesn't make an attempt to compensate for these distortions. For the general view of Le Grand-Bornand, this is not a significant problem. The detailed maps use the Mercator projection which preserves the shape of small areas better.
