 From ML:

 I shouldn't have listed this as a major defect, because there are already
 alternative options for selecting a coordinate system (e.g. using EPSG
 code or proj4 definition). Its more of an inconvenience.

 If I go through the location wizard and choose the "select EPSG code of a
 coordinate system" option, I can navigate through the list, chose a UTM
 projection using the NAD83 datum (e.g. Zone 10 N). After hitting the next
 button I am given the option to choose my datum transformation option. The
 first option says it is the default used in the whole nad83 region
 (towgs84 = 0,0,0). However this default datum transformation option is not
 available when I go through the "Select Coordinate System" option using
 location wizard.

 I guess I was expecting a "default" datum transformation parameter when
 creating a location using the choose coordinate system option, similar to
 how it exists with the select EPSG code option.

 I have only noticd this with NAD83 projections so far.
