Using Delph Nav

An Example of Survey Planning in DelphNav

Now we need to setup the output (or working) projection for the project. Recall that we

8.

In the Projection Settings dialog box, click

Change

next to Output Projection; select

Universal Transverse Mercator

from the list, and click

Next

.

9.

Check that the displayed Zone and Hemisphere are correct for Portland, Maine (it
should say

Northern hemisphere

which corresponds to

Zone 19

in the Select UTM Zone and Hemisphere dialog of the

Output Projection settings box);

10.

Select

Zone 19

in the dialog box, then click

Next

.

The system displays the Select Datum dialog of the Output Projection settings box.

11.

Select the datum for the output projection:

WGS Datum (1984)

; then click

Finish

.
