352.15 Geodetic System (Data Corrections)
In preparing charts or maps, cartographers rely on a particular geodetic
datum or “scaling system” on which to calibrate the Latitude/Longitude
coordinate structure onto their charts. The type of datum used is normally
listed in the table information located on the chart.
In some locations, mariners can/may find considerable errors (up to 200
meters) in plotting own ship’s position charts were created using one
type of geodetic data system while the GPS navigator is busy calculating
positions using another data system. The
can be programmed to provide position calcula-
tions utilizing any of the following geodetic
datums:
1
WGS-84 ( same as NAD 83, USA)
2
WGS-72 (Loran C)
3
BESSEL (for Japan)
4 NAD-27 USA (older NOAA
NAD -27 CAN (Canada/Alaska)
6 EUROPEAN 50 (for Europe)
7
AUSTRAL 66 (for Australia)
8 OSGB 36 (British Admiralty)

To change the Geodetic datum, press the
GEODETIC SYSTEM
repeatedly to scroll through the datum choices. When your selection is
displayed, it becomes the active datum for L/L calculations. The GPS
sensor
normally uses
WGS-84 (NAD-83).
352.1.6
In some special cases you may wish to “calibrate” your GPS position data
to your navigation chart by manually adding a “fixed” offset value to your
L/L readouts.
A most common method of calibrating the GPS to a marine chart is to
locate your vessel next to a fixed, charted landmark and measure the exact
difference in Latitude and Longitude between the charted position of the
landmark and your GPS
display
unit readouts.
Any
difference
shown on the
GPS readouts can then be by adding or subtracting values manually
to produce corrected L/L coordinates on the GPS displayto match the chart.
