-You can change the map projection method between Mercator, and some others. Be aware that projections maybe only valid for a certain area of the world.
+Settings for the map projection and data interpretation
 
-== Map Paint Styles == #FIXME
+**Note**: On each startup JOSM sets the projection method, the coordinate display format and the system of measurement back to user default settings.
 
-== Tagging Presets ==
+== Projection method ==
+For the current session the projection method can be changed here. \\
+A list of common projections is offered. This list offers common projections (categories) by their name. The second to last entry, ''By Code (ESPG)'', offers a complete list of all known projection codes with a filter option on top. With the last entry, customs projections can be set.
 
-[wiki:TaggingPresets Presets] allow you to select predefined tags for ways / nodes. From this area of the preferences menu you can choose which presets to use.

-You can enable the default set of tagging presets.
+ Projection code:: shows the EPSG code for the projection. 
+ Bounds:: shows the region where the projection is valid. \\
+ Some projections are valid only for small parts of the world. \\
 
-If also / instead you wish to use your own presets then you should enter on this page the source for the preset file. The source can be a 
+Common default projection for JOSM is ''Mercator (EPSG:3857)''. \\
+It has certain advantages, one of them is that geometric figures (e.g. circles and rectangles) aren't deformed when displayed. \\
+JOSM re-projects raster images from the projection of the source automatically to the current projection method.
 
- - local file path (C:\Foo\Bar.xml)
- - URL (http://svn.openstreetmap.org/utils/josm/annotation_presets/presets.pre) or
- - resource path (e.g. resource://data/annotations.xml), in which case the file has to be included in an plugin loaded at JOSM startup.
+ Set as default::
+ With this button the user default setting for the projection method is set.
+ It is visible in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode] only, #14877.
 
-== File Backup == #BackupSettings
-If you save geo data to a local file and the file already exists JOSM writes the data to a temporary file (with the suffix {{{~}}}). It then copies the temporary file to the target file. 
-In the File Backup settings you can specify whether JOSM should delete the temporary file or whether it should leave it as "backup" in the file system.
 
-  1. Go to the tab '''File backup''' in the Map Preferences
-  2. Select or deselect the checkbox '''Keep backup files'''
+== Display coordinates as ==
+Set the user default coordinate format (Decimal, Degrees, Nautical or Projected Coordinates).
+
+ 
+== System of measurement ==
+Set the user default system of measurement (Metric, Chinese, Imperial or Nautical Mile).
+
+In the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar status bar] the coordinate format and the system of measurement can be changed in the context menu for the current session, individually. 
+So the numbers in ''Bounds'' may not fit to ''Display coordinates as''.
