Map Datum
—allows you to manually select the
datum reference used to determine a given position.
The default setting is WGS 84. The unit automatically
chooses the best datum depending upon your
chosen position format. Datums are used to describe
geographic positions for surveying, mapping, and
navigation and are not actual maps built in the unit.
Although over 100 datums are available (as listed in
the Appendix), you should only change the datum if
you are using a map or chart that specifies a different
datum.
WARNING:
Selecting the wrong map datum

overall performance.
