Map Datum - Offers a selection of nearly all map datums in common
use. Every map is based on a map datum (a reference model of the
earth’s shape) and is usually listed in the title block of the map. If you
are comparing GPS coordinates to a paper map, chart, or other refer-
ence, the map datum in this field must match the horizontal map datum
used to generate the map or other reference. The default datum is WGS
84 (World Geodetic Survey 1984) and should only be changed when
using maps or charts specifying a different datum. If a map does not
specify a datum, use the list to find datums applicable to the region of
the map, select the one that provides the best positioning at a known
point. You may also choose the ‘User’ datum for custom designed grids.
