APPENDIX I: MAP DATUM AND LOCATION
FORMATS
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 chart are referenced to a
specific map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference and the aera 795/796 can
be set to match most of those commonly used.
LOCATION FORMATS

different charts use different location formats, Garmin GPS units allow you to choose
the correct coordinate system for the type of chart you are using. The most common

location format to use with other coordinate systems. Several other grids, including a
user-definable grid (for the advanced user), are available.
