The default projection
Giraffe's default projection is WGS 84, or World Geodetic System 1984.
Most spatial data defaults to this projection.
If you try to import vector layers and they are misaligned, they may be using a different project than the Giraffe default. In that case, you can edit the file to use WGS84 before uploading, or change the projection in Giraffe to match your file.

Find your CRS Code
Search EPSG.io or SpatialReference.org for your country, specific code, or coordinate system.
There are a few export options. Giraffe uses PROJ.4 format.
You will need the PROJ.4 code string to update Giraffe's projection.
This is a sample PROJ.4 format code for WGS84:
+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext +no_defsOnce found, copy it to your clipboard.
