screen shown at right appears. To change a set-
ting on this menu, highlight the desired selection,
then press the left or right arrow key. You can
change one or all of the settings on this page. When
you’re finished, press the EXIT key.
Position Format
The AccuMap 12 can show the position in degrees, minutes, and hun-
dredths of a minute (36 28.700') or degrees, minutes, and seconds (36
28' 40.9". It can also show position in UTM’s or Universal Transverse Mer-
cator projection.
UTM’s are marked on USGS topographic charts.
This system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each
approximately 6 degrees wide in longitude. Their
unit of measure is in meters. For example, 15 N
means that the position shown to the right of the
“N” is in grid 15, and it’s north of the equator.
To change the position format, move the black box
to the “Position Format” label on the Units of Mea-
sure menu, then press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one
