You can also change the type of transformation or zone system used. If you don
’t want NAD 83 (primarily used in
the U.S.) you can go to Job Settings, GPS and change the Transformation type. For example, you could change
the Transformation to UTM or NTF-France. Then, back in Calculator, your coordinate to Lat/Long calculation
would be based on the configured transformation. Note that when converting Grid System Coordinates to WGS84
coordinates and going WGS84 to Grid, the geoid separate file (if any) is applied to the calculation.
