Map Datum Selection

Maps and charts are based on a survey of an area covered by a map or
chart. These surveys are called Datums. Maps created using different
datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly different loca-
tions.
All datums have a name. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 da-
tum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may cover the entire
world or just a small portion of it. By default, your position is shown
with the WGS-84 datum. It, however, can show your position using any
of 191 different datums.
To change the Datum:
