My position appears to be offset, whats wrong?
If a different grid system other than our default WGS84 is used, the position may appear to be offset. You may encounter such problems when traveling in Hawaii or importing a specialized map which has a different datum. To fix this problem, 1. Go to View/Show Preference/Display 2. Check “Use Defined Datum”. Enter desired number of meters (positive or negative) where X=East(minus)/West(plus) direction, and Y=North(plus)/South(minus) direction. Return to Top I live in Hawaii and I purchased your software. When I lock in and look at my position on the map, it turns out that my position on the map is shifted by a significant distance to the south-east from my actual position. What is wrong? Please use the defined datum to correct your position. Go to View->Preference… and in the Display tab change dx to -1166, change dy to 3988, and check “Use Defined Datum”. This should eliminate the problem and your position after that should be properly displayed on the map. Version 092003 and higher
