mation, press the

Map Shift
The position plotted on the map screen and the electronic
charts on the C-Map cartridges are based on WGS 1984 da-
tum regardless 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 created. In some rare cases, the datum of the paper chart
is unknown, which may cause a consistent bias (error) to ap-
pear between the displayed position and known coordinates.
This bias can be corrected by using Map Shft to shift the
receiver’s computed position to match its coordinates on your
paper chart.
