These are constant values that you (usually) add to your UTM coordinates. UTM

Coordinates are usually large numbers of approximately a million meters; however, your survey may be
on the order of tens, hundreds or thousands of meters. This allows you to simplify your final numbers by
adding or subtracting the large offset values.

In most cases it is advisable to let the program automatically set the UTM parameters since an incorrect
value for the prime meridian can seriously affect how the data will appear on the display.

If the User is satisfied with the UTM conversion settings, select OK.

The MagMap2000 GPS Smooth Position allows the User to smooth the GPS data and eliminates spikes in
the GPS position data. MagMap2000 uses a smoothing spline of the third degree to smooth GPS data. We
start with the GPS Position screen illustrated in Figure 131.
