All geospatial data in {{IMSMANG}} is stored in two different formats
* latitude/longitude
* the coordinate system and format the user used when entering the data.
Using the Coordinate System manager in the Customisation menu, the administrator controls which coordinate systems could be used for data entry and visualisation in the Map pane.

Coordinate systems and formats are used for four different functions in {{IMSMANG}}:
# limit which coordinate systems/formats are allowed for [[Enter Geospatial Data in the Data Entry Form | data entry]]
# [[Change the Map Projection | re-project the map on the fly]]
# [[Change the Coordinate Reference System Display | show coordinates of cursor position]]
# [[Drop a Visual Pin on the Map | go to coordinates / drop pin in the map]]
