Be aware that projections maybe only valid for a certain area of the world.[[BR]] 11 The default projection for JOSM is Mercator. This projection has certain advantages, one of them is that geometric figures (e.g. circles and rectangles) aren't deformed when displayed. This is useful for mapping. 12 On each startup JOSM sets the projection method, the coordinate display format and the system of measurement back to user default settings. 12 13 13 JOSM is able to automatically reproject raster images from the projection of the source to the projection that is set in JOSM. To avoid having set an unsuitable projection for a long time JOSM resets the projection setting to Mercator at every restart. In [ExpertMode Expert mode] you can set another projection as default with the "Set as default" button. 14 Projection method:: 15 For the current session the projection method can be changed here. 16 A list of common projections is offered and customs projections can be set.\\ 14 17 15 You can also change the system of measurement here (Metric, Chinese, Imperial, Nautical Mile). (You can also change it in the [wiki:Help/StatusBar status bar].) 18 **Projection code** shows the EPSG code for the projection.\\ 16 19 17 == Map Paint Styles tab == #MapPaintStyles 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. 26 \\ 27 Set as default:: 28 With this button the user default setting for the projection method is set. 29 It is visible in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert access] only, #14877. 30 31 Display coordinates as:: 32 Set the user default coordinate format (Dezimal, Degrees, Nautical or Projected Coordinates). 33 34 System of measurement:: 35 Set the user default system of measurement (Metric, Chinese, Imperial or Nautical Mile). 36 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. 38 So the numbers in ''Bounds'' may not fit to 'Display coordinates as'. 39 40 == Map Paint Styles == #MapPaintStyles 18 41 19 42 In this section sources for displaying the data can be changed. Beside the internal styles also externals styles are presented and can be activated. 20 43 21 44 22 [[Image(MapPaintStylesPreferences.png)]] 45 [[Image(MapPaintStylesPreferences.png,link=)]] 23 46 24 See [wiki :Styles] and [Dialog/MapPaint Map Styles Toggle Dialog].47 See [wikitr:/Styles] and [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/MapPaint Map Styles Toggle Dialog]. 25 48 26 == Tagging Presets tab== #TaggingPresets27 ''If you want to learn how presets can also be added to the toolbar see - [Preferences/Toolbar Toolbar Customization]''[[br]] 28 ''If you want to use presets or need complete reference of presets see [wiki :Presets Presets]''[[br]]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]] 29 52 30 [Help/Concepts/Object#presets Presets] allow you to select predefined tags for [Concepts/Object objects].
