Map Datums and Location Formats
Map Datums are based on a mathematical model of the Earth.
What are Map Datums?
A datum is a mathematical model of the Earth that approximates
the shape of the Earth and enables calculations to be carried out in a
consistent and accurate manner. The datum is physically represented
by a framework of ground monuments (such as trig. stations) whose
locations have been accurately measured and calculated on this
reference surface. Lines of latitude and longitude on a map or chart
are referenced to a specic map datum. Every chart has a map datum
reference and the GPSMAP 396 can be set to match most of those
commonly used.
If you are navigating and comparing the GPS coordinates to a map,
chart, or other reference, the map datum in the GPS unit should
be set to the same datum as the map to ensure the most accurate
navigation.
What is a Location Format?
Your current location can be viewed on the GPS in the form of
coordinates. Since different maps and charts use different location
formats, Garmin GPS units allow you to choose the correct
coordinate system for the type of map you are using. The most
common format is latitude and longitude, which is used by all
Garmin units. You can change the location format to use with other
coordinate systems in Location Preferences. UTM/UPS (Universal
Transverse Mercator/Universal Polar Stereographic) are easy-to-use
metric grids that are found on most USGS topographic quadrangle
maps. Several other grids, including a user-denable grid (for the
advanced user), are available.
For more information about using paper maps with your
Garmin unit, refer to Using a Garmin GPS with Paper Land
Maps, available for download at www.garmin.com/manuals/
