		+	* estimate inside blue square

		+

		+	'''Short form UTM'''
		+	* used mainly over radio
		+	* 6 digits (3 easting, 3 northing, no zone)
		+	* assumes they know which map you're using
		+	* accurate to 100m
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Geographic Coordinate System'''
		+	* Latitude and Longitude
		+	* used by aircraft
		+	* Better when dealing with 100's of kilometers
		+	* used by untrained people (all they've heard of)
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Degrees'''
		+
		+	* A circle has 360 degrees.
		+	* World is a sphere. Equator is a circle.
		+	* measure longitude West 180 degrees along the equator from the prime meridian (Greenwich England)
		+	* measure East 180 degrees
		+	* meet at about the International Date Line in the Pacific
		+
		+	* Measure north or south along the longitude to get the latitude
		+	* 90 degrees Latitude North to the north pole
		+	* 90 degrees South to the south pole
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Minutes'''
		+
		+	* Degrees are too big
		+	* Every degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles
		+	** = 69 miles
		+	** = 111 km
		+
		+	* On the equator a degree of longitude is also 60 nautical miles
		+	* gets smaller the closer to the poles you get
		+
		+	* Degrees are divided into 60 minutes
		+	* written as '
		+	* 1' of latitude is 1 nautical mile
		+	** = 1.15 miles
		+	** = 1.9 km
		+
		+	* 1' of longitude varies depending on how close to the poles
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Seconds'''
		+
		+	Getting even more accurate.
		+	* 60 seconds in a minute
		+	* written as "
		+	* 1" of latitude is 101 feet
		+	* = 31m
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Full Lat/Long'''
		+
		+	* example: 49deg 23' 24" N, 114deg 20' 25" W
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Reading on a map'''
		+
		+	* latitude goes from bottom to top along edges of map
		+	* each minute is marked by a black or white bar
		+	* seconds have to be estimated
		+
		+	* longitude goes from right to left along top and bottom edge of map
		+	* size of minute is different
		+
		+	* no lines join opposite sides of map
		+	* gray lines (township and section) are sometimes close
		+	* roll edge of map to create temporary straight line
		+	* read degrees and minutes, estimate seconds
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Exercise'''
		+
		+	''find lat/long of several features''
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Convert by GPS'''
		+
		+	* create waypoint in one coordinate sytem
		+	* display in another
		+
		+	* need to match Map Datum used on map

		+	'''coordinates systems'''
		+
		+	A coordinate system is a way of specifying a location on map
		+
		+	3 systems you're likely to use in SAR.
		+
		+	* UTM - Universal Transverse Mercator
		+	* Geographic Coordinate System - Latitude/Longitute
		+	* Legal Land Description - Section, Township. Roads and Approaches
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''UTM'''
		+	* SAR uses mostly
		+	* taught in SAR fundamentals
		+
		+	* 3 parts: ZEN
		+	** Zone
		+	** Easting
		+	** Northing
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Zones'''
		+
		+	* Each zone is a grid system that stretches from near the antarctic to the far north
		+	* different strips necessary because laying a square grid on a round world
		+	* Each zone is 6 degrees wide
		+	* Pincher Creek is right at the boundary between zone 11U (on west) and zone 12U (on east)
		+	* Each map shows it's zone
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Northing'''
		+	* how far north of the equator (in meters)
		+	* written on left and right edge of map
		+	* horizontal blue lines have same northing
		+	* only 2 of the digits are shown for most blue lines
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Easting'''
		+	* relative to the center of the Zone
		+	* center of Zone is 500,000m
		+	* bigger number the further east you go
		+	* smaller number as you fo west
		+	* written on the bottom and top edge of the map
		+	* vertical blue lines have same easting
		+	* sometimes starts over from 99 to 00 (with carry)
		+
		+	{{lesson slide\|\|}}
		+	'''Stating a UTM'''
		+	* order: Z - E - N
		+	* e.g. 12U 710000 5477000
		+	* ''find this location: middle of Beauvais Lake''
