As an example, the table below shows the value in decimal degrees for the same point, using different parameters
of datum:
Datum Latitude Longitude
WGS 84 0.00000 24.00000
South American 69 0.00037 23.99978
Pico de las Nieves 0.00115 23.99963
Campo Inchauspe 0.00081 23.99834
Corrego Alegre 0.00005 23.99784
If you don’t need a specific datum, use WGS 84 datum, which is the default of GPS TrackMaker®. This is also the
default datum for GPS receivers. Using this datum, you prevent the computer of wasting time for the data
conversion every time a file is opened and send or receive data from the GPS.
TIP: You can use any datum in your GPS.. During the transfer to GPS TrackMaker®, generally the data is
converted by the GPS to WGS 84. If it is not necessary to use a specific datum, configure the GPS to WGS 84.
