 The origin is the global reference point that is determined by the environment simulation.
 This reference point may be derived from map data or other considerations.
 Global coordinates can be mapped to a geographic coordinate system via `osi3::GroundTruth::proj_string`.
+Note that before applying any PROJ transformations to global coordinates, the `osi3::GroundTruth::proj_frame_offset` must be applied.
 
 Host vehicle coordinate system::
 The host vehicle coordinate system's origin is defined to be at the center of the rear axle of the host vehicle.
