 ===== Basic information =====
-For more advanced users, that want to use Locus also for some specific tasks, like surveyors and others, Locus allow to use custom coordinate system for coordinate transformations.

-Currently these systems are used only for display/edit of coordinates, not for map projections. So it's not possible to re-project map to different coordinate system.

 ===== How to =====
-For coordinate definition is used configuration file stored in **Locus** root directory and called **config_projections.cfg**.
