Actually percent grade, rise over run (100 x (rise/run)). For

Average of the grade from the start to the current cursor position
(or finish).
The elevation of the lowest point on a profile.

A named grid system of any of the UTM/UPS, MGRS, or State Plane
coordinate systems used as a basis for coordinate display. For
example, UTM zone 19 specifies the six-degree swath between
longitude 66W to 72W and running from 84S to 80N. Another
example is zone ME-W in the State Plane coordinate system, which
specifies an area that covers the western half of Maine. When using
one these coordinate systems, the current zone and coordinates
east and north (the eastings and northings) of the zone origin are
displayed.

The measure of a position relative to the y-axis (vertical) of a grid
system.
The measure of a position on the earth's surface north or south of
