1. USNG US NATIONAL GRID

2. USNG United States National Grid Lessons learned have taught us that standardized grids are needed for positional reporting. As far back as Hurricane Andrew, problems were recognized for emergency managers...

3. USNG What’s wrong with current systems? We already have… – Latitude/Longitude – Township/Range/Section – Street Address and Zip – UTM

4. USNG Latitude/Longitude Multiple formats are confusing DD -85.990151, 30.272240 DM -85 59.409089, 30.16.334386 DMS 85 59’24.545”W, 3020.063”N All the same location!!!

5. USNG How far is a second anyway? What is the distance from…. 85 59’24.545”W, 30 16’20.063”N To here…. 85 59’26.292”W, 30 16’14.546”N

6. USNG Worse yet… What is the distance from -85.990443, 30.275358 To here…. 85 59.364547, 30 16.504539

7. USNG Township/Range/Section Township/Range/Section grid from the Public Lands Survey System is an important and good system… – basis of land ownership records – been in use for over 180 years

8. USNG Township/Range/Section But a perfect section really doesn’t exist –irregular in coastal areas – too large to meet needs of ground crews

9. USNG Street Address and Zip Problematic due to… – rural routes – post office boxes
