Position Format/Alternate Format
This unit can show the position in degrees, min-
utes, 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, German, Taiwan, Brit-
ish, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish, New Zealand, and Military Grid.
