  • Federal Geographic Data Committee's U.S. National Grid (USNG)
    April 20, 2008 Executive Summary U.S. National Grid Supporting Public Safety, Commerce, and the General Public Background. The Federal Geographic Data Committee’s U.S. National Grid (USNG) standard provides a nationally consistent language of location that has been optimized for local applications. • All street maps use a standard set of street names and addresses to locate places. The USNG does not replace this practice; it complements it. The USNG expands the utility of topographic, street, and other large-scale maps by adding several powerful features: It provides a grid reference system that is seamless across jurisdictional boundaries; it provides the foundation for a universal map index; it enables user- friendly position referencing on appropriately gridded paper and digital maps, with Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and World Wide Web map portals. • USNG may be the only unambiguous way to describe locations when the end-user is operating either in an area away from the established road network, or in an area impacted by a natural disaster where road signs have been destroyed. • Private citizens, public agencies, and commercial enterprises can use USNG. It has obvious applications in navigation, command and control (C2), and public safety response (e.g., police, fire, rescue, National Guard). The simple linear increments of USNG has shown itself to require less training time to master and produces fewer operator errors than the more complex angular increments of latitude and longitude – such that the USNG be effectively taught at the 5th grade level. • USNG is a Presentation Standard. It does not replace data storage formats for either Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) for engineering and survey applications.

Locator views help you perform searches more efficiently and eliminate the need to sort through results. With a locator view, you configure a view of the Esri World The following example creates a locator view that constrains Geocoding service that limits geosearch to specific types of loca- search by a specific POI (airports) and geographic extent (United tions or coordinates or limits geocoding results to the postal code States). The locator view generated will limit searches to airports— level or a specified subcategory of addresses or populated places. and only airports—in the United States.

  • UTM and UPS James R
    UTM and UPS James R. Clynch 2003 I. Introduction The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection coordinates occur on most topographic maps. This is the Northing and Easting coordinates discussed below. In addition the projection is used on many charts and maps. It forms the basis for the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) for US DoD maps in non-polar regions. North of 84 N and south of 80 S the Universal Stereographic Projection (UPS) is used for the MGRS. Note that as with all projections, the map is not specified until the ellipsoid and datum are specified. You have to check the map legend. II. Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) A. Basic Geometry of a UTM Zone This is a Mercator based on a cylinder that is turned on its side so that the tangent line would be a meridian of longitude. In fact the cylinder is slightly depressed into the earth. The amount is defined by specifying the scale value on the central meridian is 0.9996 . Because it is a Mercator projection, it is conformal. (Rotating the cylinder just rotates Tissot's Indicatrix, which is a circle and remains a circle if you rotate it.) The meridians are now curved lines. The parallels are straight lines. The meridians bow in. This means that azimuths will be in error for points not on the central meridian. The scale error will be zero on the meridians that cut the earth. These are standard lines. The scale error is, of course 0.0004 ( 1 - 0.9996 ) along the central meridian. It grows as you go east or west of the standard lines.

  • X Y Mapping Project Supporting Documments APPENDIX E
    APPENDIX E Spatial Interoperability In the specific case of air-delivered weapon support to ground forces, the precision bombing benefits of the common-grid capability afforded by GPS cannot be assumed in advance. To ensure GPS common-grid is applied in air-delivered weapons support, a change in joint doctrine is necessary to require in-theater use of the grid reference alphanumeric position reporting system, Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), for all 2-D positioning, navigation and targeting purposes and as the 2-D component of 3-D operations. Universal use of the MGRS for all in-theater spatial operations will eliminate confusion regarding which coordinate system is being used in navigating and reporting positions and targets. It will also eliminate the practice of requiring that ground personnel electronically or manually convert positions and targets from MGRS to latitude and longitude for the purpose of obtaining support from aviation components. In any emergency situation, whether in a war zone or the domestic environment, spatial interoperability is as important as communications interoperability. Said another way, confusion in identifying an incident location can be as deadly as not being able to transmit that location to a potential responder. GPS can solve that problem, but only if it is employed smartly and with forethought. GPS enables common grid operations, but only if the participants agree in advance on which of the many available coordinate grids they will use to identify locations of importance to the operations. Coordinate grids are the languages of location, and using different grids in the same operation is analogous to trying to communicate in different languages.
