Selecting the Map Datum
When using the eXplorist in conjunction with a map or chart,
you
should make sure
that
the
map datum in the eXplorist matches the map datum
that
the map or chart uses. This can
usually
be
found
in
the legend block
on
the map or chart. The default map datum for the
eXplorist is WGS84 and should
be
used when
you
are unsure
as
to what datum to select.
