Position Format
The Eagle Expedition can show the position in
degrees, 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
position in UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator)
projection, British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish,
and Military Grid systems.
To change the position format, highlight the “Posi-
tion 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.
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 Expedition will pick the matching datum for
you when you select the grid. See the Datums
section for more information.
