All geospatial data in {{IMSMANG}} is stored in latitude/longitude, but {{IMSMANG}} can display data in virtually any coordinate system. {{IMSMANG}} comes with all the coordinate systems available to ESRI's products like WGS1984 and MGRS, yet information managers can add other custom coordinate systems. Using the Coordinate System manager, information managers can add coordinate system and projection (or .PRJ) files to {{IMSMANG}} and establish a set of relevant systems that can be used for coordinate data entry and visualisation.

The coordinate systems available for use in IMSMA are managed using the Coordinate System Manager window. The available coordinate systems from installation are the standard ESRI's projections. Copy custom coordinate system projection files to appropriate folder in ''C:\IMSMAng\server\gis\coordinate systems''.

Coordinate systems and formats are used for four different functions in {{IMSMANG}}:

# [[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]]
