geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the surface of the earth (WGS84 - decimal degrees)
geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the surface of the earth (WGS84 - decimal degrees)
geographic coordinate that specifies the vertical distance of a point, measured from the mean sea level (WGS 84)
UTM system divides the earth into 60 zones, each 6° of longitude in width
position in east (E) direction inside the UTM grid zone
position in north (N) direction inside the UTM grid zone
globally unique natural identifier generated by a reversible algorithm that has the characteristics of a geographic point location as the inputs
