This has no impact on the rest of the dialog, but it will cause the correct
type of geometry to be used when the vector dataset is created.

The next field allows you to specify the Coordinate Reference System, or CRS. A
CRS specifies how to describe a point on Earth in terms of coordinates, and
because there are many different ways to do this, there are many different CRSs.
The CRS of this project is WGS84, so it's already correct by default:
The next field allows you to specify the Coordinate Reference System, or CRS. CRS is a method of associating numerical coordinates with a position on the surface of the Earth. See the User Manual on :ref:`Working with Projections<label_projections>` to learn more.
