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
shows using the WGS-84 datum. However, it can show your position
using one of 191 different datums. Different datums can be selected; to
