"One More Question" about the PM2
Posted By Shawn Billings on 7/29/2001 at 8:41 PM

This is the last question I will ever have about it I am sure (LOL).

What coordinate systems will the navigation mode allow the user to work in (ie Lat Long WGS84 NAD83 NAD27, SPC, Custom Grid, etc.)?

TIA
Shawn

Shawn,

The PM2 includes a long list of pre-defined datums including WGS84, NAD83 and NAD27. You can also define your own datum.

The PM2 also includes 9 predefined grid systems including UTM. Unfortunately, SPCS is not a pre-defined system but you can define any SPCS zone with the user-defined grid function. The available projection types for user-defined grids are: Transverse Mercator, Lambert Conformal Conic (1 and 2 standard parallel), Stereographic, Oblique Mercator, and Polyconic.

Thanks Bill

Even if it does not include SPCS predefined, if it allows the user to actually enter the parameters and get SPCS, that's great. Using our little code handhelds is tough when it comes to defining a useable grid.
