Hi, I have a question. There is a "custom_ellipsoids.txt" file in the "c:\Users\Arcanum2\AppData\Local\GlobalMapper\" folder. I create a custom datum os custom elipsoid, as long as the global mapper program is runing the datas is in file avaible but i close the program and restart the file is overwritten and my datas will disappear.
It must creat my datas again...
Any ideas for lasting costum datums and elipsoid?

What version of Global Mapper are you using? Do you have multiple instances of Global Mapper running at once? Any custom datums or ellipsoids should save out to the custom_datums.txt and custom_ellipsoids.txt files when you close the software and be available the next time you run.
Thanks,

Mike,
If GM is open, and you (attempt to) edit customs_datums.txt and save the results, when GM is closed will it overwrite the file?
(this has happened to me with other programs) zolizee didn't say whether he created his custom datum in GM or by editing the file.

Mykle,
That is correct, GM will write out the custom_datums.txt file when it closes and doesn't know about any modifications made to the file after it was read in, so if you manually edit the custom_datums.txt file while GM is open those changes will be overwritten when you close GM. So if you want to manually edit the file make sure to do it with GM closed.
Thanks,
Mike
