Magellan NA V 6500/NA V 6510 94 A UTM position is described by three elements; the zone it is in, the easting, and the northing. Eastings and northings measure how far into a zone a position is in meters. Eastings are an east/west measur ement, and correspond roughly to lon- gitude. N orthings are a north/south measurement, and cor- respond to lati[...]

Magellan NA V 6500/NA V 6510 95 What Is GPS? tance between the receiv er and the satellite: this is ranging. Once the receiver has computed range for at least three satellites, its location on the surface of the earth can be determined. Each satellite transmits two types of data, almanac and ephemeris. Almanac data is general information on the loc[...]
