Position Format

To change the position format, highlight the "Po-
sition Format" label on the "GPS Setup" menu
(shown on the previous page), then press the right
arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right ap-
pears.
The GlobalNav 200 can show the position in de-
grees, minutes, and thousandths of a minute (36°
28.700') or degrees, minutes, seconds, and tenths
of a second (36° 28' 40.9"). It can also show posi-
tion in UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) pro-
jection, British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish, and
Military Grid systems.
UTM's are marked on USGS topographic charts.
This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each
6 degrees wide in longitude. Their unit of mea-
sure is in meters. For example, 15N means that
the position shown to the right of the "15N" is in
zone 15, and it's north of the equator.
British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, and Finnish grid sys-
tems are the national coordinate system used only
in their respective countries.
Note: In order to use either the British, Irish, Swed-
ish, Swiss, or Finnish grid systems, you must be
in the respective country.
The GlobalNav 200 will pick the matching datum
for you when you select the grid. See the Datums
section for more information.
