Elevation

The elevation of the highest point on a profile.

Zone**

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.

Easting**

The measure of a position relative to the x-axis (horizontal) of a

grid system.

Northing**

The measure of a position relative to the y-axis (vertical) of a grid

system.

Latitude***

The measure of a position on the earth's surface north or south of

the equator in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Defined as the angle

from the equator's horizontal plane perpendicular to the polar axis.

Latitude is measured in degrees minutes and seconds. All lines of

latitude are parallel and are often referred to as parallels.

Longitude***

The measure of a position on the surface of the earth east or west

of the Prime Meridian in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Defined as

the angle from the vertical plane running through the polar axis and

the prime meridian. Longitude is measured in degrees minutes and

seconds. All lines of longitude meet at the poles and are often

referred to as meridians.

*Calculated from the start of the profile to the current cursor position. If the cursor is not in the profile area, then

the value is calculated from the start of the profile to the end of the profile.
**This statistical information is available only if UTM/UPS, SPCS, USNG, or MGRS is selected as the coordinate

system in the Display tab of the Options dialog box.

***This statistical information is available only if a latitude/longitude format is selected as the coordinate system in

the Display tab of the Options dialog box.
