11.8    Coordinates

 

These settings will be used when introducing any coordinate into the software as well as creating any element (waypoints/routes/tracks):

 

     Coordinates type: UTM, Latitude/Longitude, BGN…

 

     Degree format: Configure the order in which the degrees are displayed.

 

dd.dddddd

ddºmm.mmm’

ddºmm’ss.s

 

     Datum for display: Used to translate the positions of elements (waypoints/routes/tracks) to the exact position on the earth. Datum systems are needed because the earth is an imperfect ellipsoid.

 

     Internal datum: Datum that will be used for internal calculations.

 

     Primary map mode: Set by default which map will be considered the primary map (predominant map among the rest of maps).

 

     First loaded map will be primary map

 

     Last loaded map will be primary map

 

     Use a fixed projection, not a primary map

 

     View datum list: Choose a fixed projection from a short list of proposed map projections, Land will always use it as primary projection.
