GPS Area Calculation
What projections are available in GPSMeter PDA?
You can use several projections for display and export your measurements.
1) Geodetic coordinates latitude and longitude.
2) UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator). You can manually choose the Zone or let the software to select one.
3) Other projections. In this group you can choose one of following projections:
