For changing the geodetic datum select [View] - [Select Datum].If you change the geodetic datum the place name, GPS tracking, routing, and way points are adjusted according to the new datum automatically.
Changing the geodetic datum causes no displacement of the linked icons.For normal use select TOKYO for Japan and WGS-84 for other places.
A combination of USGS30 and WGS-84 causes rather large mismatch of the place name.
