Selecting Map Datum You can change the datum the receiver uses to compute position coordinates. You will want your receiver's datum to match the datum on the map or chart you are using. Use the map "legend" to determine the datum required for the map or chart. If you are not using a map or chart or are unsure which datum to use, select WGS84. Select SETUP Select MAP DATUM FIG.
