18. Additional features This section describes some of the more advanced features available in the ADMS Mapper 5 1 Setting the coordinate system There is an option to set the coordinate system within the ADMS Mapper The choice of coordinate system affects the way the layers are displayed in the map view window and the coordinates of a point in the map view window given in the status bar are in the units associated with the coordinate system defined For example if the coordinate system has been set to WGS 84 then the coordinates are longitude and latitude The coordinate system must be selected before certain features of the ADMS Mapper can be used for example before exporting ADMS Mapper files to kml files for use in Google Earth Coordinate systems can also be defined separately for each layer This is a useful way of ensuring that additional features such as background maps use the same coordinate system as the ADMS layers this is described further in Section 5 3 The coordinate systems for the ADMS layers should not be changed in the ADMS Mapper these are set in the model interface see the ADMS User Guide for more details To set the coordinate system that is used in the ADMS Mapper select either Use the ADMS coordinate system or Set map coordinate system from the Edit menu as shown in Figure 21 The first option ensures that the system currently defined in the ADMS interface is used in the ADMS Mapper the second o
