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 cre-
ated 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
shows using the WGS-84 datum. However, it can show your position
using one of 191 different datums.
Different datums can be selected only in Advanced Mode. (Switch from
Easy to Advanced:
MENU|↓ to ADVANCED MODE|ENT|←|ENT.) To change
the datum:
1. Press
MENU|MENU|↓ to GPS SETUP|ENT|↓ to DATUM SELECTION|ENT.
2. Scroll ↓ or ↑ to select the desired datum, then press
ENT.
3. To return to the last page displayed, press
EXIT|EXIT.
A list of the datums used by this unit is in the back of this manual.
