Position
|
The position of the icon, in a number of formats:
LatLon,
UTM,
UPS,
MGRS,
MGRS Polar,
USNG (identical to MGRS), and
Georef.
Used in place of Latitude and Longitude.
The following positions refer to 38° 57' 33.804" N, 95° 15' 55.739" W
which is the default Google Earth starting point over Lawrence, Kansas, USA.
In the following table, "d" is used to mark degree digits, "m" for minutes, and
"s" for seconds. For lat/lon, the letters "N, S, E, and W can come before or after
the coordinates. So long as the coordinate can be understood, punctuation, spaces,
and °'" are optional. Acceptable formats include:

Note that UTM position "15S" is in the Northern hemisphere. Earth Point uses
the convention that the UTM Band letters C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M are in the
southern hemisphere and N, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, X are in the northern hemisphere.
UPS letters A, B, Y, Z are also supported.
Georef is specified to .01 minutes, which is a lower resolution than the other systems.
Thus, Georef cannot plot the default Google Earth location exactly. The next two
points are the same, but they are about 14 meters southeast of the points above.
