(1) The "x" value in a rectangular coordinate system (2) The distance east of a point location from the west meridian (easting line) of a UTM grid zone
One of two geographic coordinate values (the other being northing) used to specify the exact location of a feature on a map Easting and northings are specified as x,y coordinates receptively for universal transverse mercator and state plane coordinate systems
The distance measured toward the east between two meridians drawn through the extremities of a course; distance of departure eastward made by a vessel
(1) The distance of a point east of the point of origin of a map or a grid (2) The east-west component of a survey leg (or of a series of legs) East is positive, west is negative See also Northing, Vertical Survey & Mapping term Ref JJ
First measurement of a grid reference used to specific the location of a point on a rectangular coordinate system The distance measured eastward from the origin of a rectangular coordinate system
One of the two values (the other being northing) indicating the position of a point on a grid system
