Units Tab

The Unit tab defines the Position Format, Map Datum, Heading,

Distance, Speed, Elevation, Depth, and Temperature units.
The following settings are available:

Position Format—changes the coordinate system. You

should only change the position format if you are using a

map or chart that specifies a different position format or want

to use a format with which you are familiar.

For additional information on Loran TD setup, see page 108.

NOTE: The Units tab settings affects how navigation

information is displayed on the GPSMAP 182/182C. When in

doubt, seek assistance.

If you are using a map or chart in conjunction with your GPS,

make sure the settings under the Units tab of the GPSMAP 182/

182C match that of the map or chart. This information should

be displayed somewhere on the map or chart. If the information

is not present, contact the map or chart maker to determine

what position format, datum, heading and units of measure are

being used for the map or chart.
