Coordinate system (Coord System)

MobileMapper Pro can display your position in a variety of co-
ordinate systems, both geographic and grid systems. Unless
you know which one you want to use, you can use the default
choice (Lat/Lon) for the primary system. You can always trans-
form any data you collect in the field to the coordinate system
used by your GIS when you get back to the office.

Map Datum

Selecting Lat/Lon
You can select the map datum you want to display your data
in. As with the Coordinate System option, you can use the de-
fault choice (WGS 84) for the primary map datum while you
are getting started.
MobileMapper Pro can calculate and display your position on two dif-
ferent map datums with each datum having its own coordinate sys-
tem. In this guide you just need to define the primary coordinate
system and the primary map datum.
Selecting WGS84

Units

You use this option to set the units of measurement you want
to use. The default for long distances, short distances, speed
and area are kilometers, meters, kph and hectares. You can
set this to miles, feet, mph, acres if you like or to three other
standard sets of units. You can also create a custom mix of
units by selecting the Advanced option that contains a wide va-
riety of units for distance, speed, elevation, bearing and area.
