# General

<figure><img src="/files/bYv7zM4RtCY06BZIsEAa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

General settings includes the following:

**Language**: Language used in SpatialExplorer

**Vehicle**: This setting can be used to display an animated vehicle in [**Main View**](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/main-view.md). This is particularly useful when visualizing the acquisition using the [**ProjectPlayer**](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/project-player.md).&#x20;

**Projection**: The [**Main View** ](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/main-view.md)projection can be either orthometric or perspective. In orthometric mode, no perspective-based distortion will occur (i.e. sets of parallel lines will remain parallel despite the camera view).&#x20;
