Select the Display Datum

This dialog allows the selection of a datum used to display positions and the grid. All dialogs that display positions that do not have their own datum selection provided are shown using the selected display datum. If the selection of the datum in the list is "Datum of Loaded Map" then the display datum will always be the same as the datum of the currently loaded map.
