Map Datum Selection

Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area that's covered by the
map or chart. These surveys are called Datums. Maps that are created
using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly
different locations.
All datums are named. The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 da-
tum, which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the
entire world or just a small portion of it. By default, your position is
based on the WGS-84 datum. The iFINDER, however, can show your
position using one of 191 different datums.
Different datums can only be selected in Advanced Mode. (To switch
from Easy to Advanced press
