Map Shift
The position plotted on the map screen and the electronic
charts on the C-Cards are based on WGS 1984 datum re-
gardless of the datum set. Paper charts from which electronic
charts are created may be based on other datums and were
shifted to WGS 1984 when the electronic charts were cre-
ated. In some rare cases, the datum of the paper chart is un-
known, which may cause a consistent bias (error) to appear
between the displayed position and known coordinates. This
bias can be corrected by using Map Shift to shift the receiver’s
computed position to match its coordinates on your paper
chart.
