The position of the icon, in a number of formats:
LatLon,
UTM,
UPS,
MGRS,
MGRS Polar,
USNG (identical to MGRS),
GARS,
Maidenhead,
Georef,
Plus Codes,
what3words, and
State Plane.
Used in place of Latitude and Longitude.
If converting UTM/UPS or State Plane, see also Zone, Easting, Northing.
The following positions refer to 39° 18' 40.58" N 102° 17' 30.47" W
which is near Burlington, Colorado, 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:

13S 733494mE 4354817mN
Note that UTM position "13S" 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.

State Plane
|
United States State Plane coordinates.
Easting and Northing (X and Y) can be in Meters, US Survey Feet, or International
Feet, where
1 US survey foot = 1200/3937 meters, and
1 international foot = 0.3048 meters
Our sample point, 39° 18' 40.58" N 102° 17' 30.47" W,
is located in Zone 3001, "Colorado Central"
The position is specified as "Zone X Y" as follows:
0502 1191021.721 473748.480 (meters is assumed)
0502 1191021.721m 473748.480m (meters)
0502 3907543.764UsFt 1554289.806UsFt (US Survey Feet)
0502 3907551.579ft 1554292.915ft (International Feet)

X, Y, East, and North
By default, the X coordinate, or Easting is specified first and the Y coordinate,
or Northing is specified second. However, the order can be reversed if coordinates
are explicitly labeled. Example:
|
0502 3907543.764 1554289.806
|
Normal specification - Zone 1102 followed by Easting and Northing in US Survey Feet
|
|
0502 3907543.764UsFtE 1554289.806UsFtN
|
Same coordinate, order reversed, Northing followed by Easting.
|
|
0502 1554289.806UsFtY 3907543.764UsFtX
|
Order reversed, Y coordinate is first, X coordinate is second.

Georef

FJCK42491867
Georef is specified to .01 minutes, which is a lower resolution than the other systems supported by Earth Point.
Thus, Georef cannot plot the above location exactly. The next two points are the
same, but they are about 570 meters southeast of the points above.
|
UPS is supported. This point is by the North Pole.
