Appendix B
Map Datums
This appendix shows a list of the GPS map datums used
with the Apollo 360. Each map datum represents a
mathematical model of the earth used for the purpose of
establishing precision in charting various areas of the earth.
Since each datum reliesonadifferent mathematical model,
inconsistencies exist in defining the location of charted
points between datums. For this reason, it is important to
verify that you have selected the correct map datum for the
area where you navigate and the chart you use.
Note
WGS-1984 is the default datum until you change it.
