     9**Note**: On each startup JOSM sets the projection method, the coordinate display format and the system of measurement back to user default settings.

     11== Projection method ==
     12For the current session the projection method can be changed here. \\
     13A 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.

    18  **Projection code** shows the EPSG code for the projection.\\

    20  **Bounds** shows the region where the projection is valid.
    21  Some projections are valid only for small parts of the world.\\
    22  \\
    23  Common default projection for JOSM is Mercator (EPSG:3857).
    24  It has certain advantages, one of them is that geometric figures (e.g. circles and rectangles) aren't deformed when displayed.
    25  JOSM reprojects raster images from the projection of the source automatically to the current projection method.

     34== System of measurement ==
     35Set the user default system of measurement (Metric, Chinese, Imperial or Nautical Mile).

    37 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.
     37In 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.
    3838So the numbers in ''Bounds'' may not fit to ''Display coordinates as''.

    40 == Map Paint Styles == #MapPaintStyles

    42 In this tab the styles for displaying the data can be changed. Beside the internal styles also externals styles are presented and can be activated.

    49 == Tagging Presets == #TaggingPresets
    50 ''If you want to learn how presets can also be added to the toolbar see - [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Toolbar Toolbar Customization]''[[br]]
    51 ''If you want to use presets or need complete reference of presets see [wikitr:/Presets Presets]''[[br]]
    52 
    53 [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#presets Presets] allow you to select predefined tags for [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects]. From this area of the preferences menu you can choose which presets to use.
    54 
    55 The preset list will be downloaded automatically, then you have two options:
    56 
    57 === Activate preset(s) from available presets ===
    58 
    59 Use [[JOSMImage(preferences/activate-right,20,link=)]] the blue, right arrow in the middle.
    60 
    61 Items on the right will appear in [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Presets Presets menu].
    62 
    63 [[Image(wiki:TaggingPresets:TaggingPresets.png,link=)]]
    64 
    65 === Add a preset from the file ===
    66 
    67 Include one from a URL or local file (or network-located file or file in a Dropbox alternative) by clicking on the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/add,20,link=)]] plus button on the right.
    68 
    69 Adding presets requires a restart of JOSM. Then the [wikitr:/Introduction#Presets tagging presets can be selected as usual].

    71 == File Backup ==#FileBackup
    72 [=#BackupSettings ]

    76 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.
    77 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.
    78 
    79 1. Go to the tab **File backup** in the Map Preferences
    80 1. Select or deselect the checkbox **Keep backup files**
