Geodetic, UTM, and MGRS coordinates
WGS The World Geodetic System (WGS) is used to set the horizontal position of a unit. In the program, Latitude ranges from 90° South to 90° North, and Longitude ranges from 180° West to 180° east.UTM Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) divides earth into 60 zones of 6 degrees of longitude. The Northing is the distance from the equator (m) while the Easting is the distance from the central longitude of the zone (m), added with 500 000. MGRS The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is derived from the UTM system of coordinates. MGRS example:13S CF 94000 48000 or 13S CF 940 480 or 13S CF 94 48 means:Zone designation 13S 100 000 m square CF Easting 94000m Northing 48000m
