In case you just want to load some GPS tracks, you can safely use UTM, which is widely used world-wide. Other choices are:

- **From Proj.4 specification**: projections are internally handled by the [PROJ.4 Cartographic Projections library](https://proj4.org/), so coordinate reference systems can also be given in its internal specification format. Examples may be found at [http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/ (Internet Archive)](https://web.archive.org/web/20160802172057/http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/) and [http://spatialreference.org/](http://spatialreference.org/). When selecting this option, the specification field will be pre-filled with the specification of the previously selected coordinate reference system.

#### Scale compensation

**Auxiliary scale factor** may be set to compensate when distances on the ground differ from distances on the Earth model, such as occurs when the terrain is at high altitude. It is the ratio of model distance to ground distance. The default factor of 1.0 has no effect. Beside that, Mapper automatically calculates the grid scale factor, which accounts for the difference between projected distance and model distance. Mapper puts this together with the auxiliary scale factor, to form the **combined scale factor**.
