A UTM position is described by three elements; the zone it is in, the easting,
and the northing. Eastings and northings measure how far into a zone a
position is in meters. Eastings are an east/west measurement, and correspond
roughly to longitude. Northings are a north/south measurement, and corre-
spond to latitude.
This chart shows Magellan's position described in both Lat/Lon and UTM
coordinates. Your GPS receiver can display coordinates in all of the manners
shown.
