• Time – Indicates when the last time the location was calculated. The time is provided in Universal
Time Coordinated.
• Letter Code – Grid zone or square on the map for different coordinate standard.
• Latitude – Expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
• Longitude – Expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
• Number of satellites – Used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites provides better
accuracy. The maximum is 12 satellites.
• Easting – Refers to the eastward-measured distance expressed in meters.
• Northing – Refers to the northward-measured distance expressed in meters.
NOTICE: Skipping each digit of easting and northing coordinates decreases the accuracy by
the factor of 10.
