Mal Datums

Hello

I use a Garmin 66ST. I am having difficulty working out map datums.

if I mark a location using the GPS with the map datum set to WGS84, and then use a paper map that has a datum of 66, will the waypoint I previously marked be displayed at the correct location (assuming I set the map datum to 66 to correspond to the paper map in use)?

Thanks

Thank you for your advice.

I did not realise that the GPS unit converted the datums automatically (provided the software has the datum in question).

I will do some more reading and training and return with questions if need be.
