Latitidue / longitude using degrees, are mostlt used at sea, in arial navigation, in Google maps and by most internet sites / mobile apps. Possible formats that MapShare will understand:
For landbased topo-maps, however, it is normal to use "rectangular" coordinates, more like X and Y.
UTM is the international standard, used by many (but not all) countries.
For UTM, the earth is sliced into 60 zones (or "bands") running from North to South. Within each zone, we use coordinates based on number of meters. Normally east, before north, in an X,Y fashion.
Possible formats that MapShare will understand:
* if the zone is skipped, we assume you are in the same zone as the
previous coordinate enetered, or optionaly where your device is located
** short form with 100m precision, two first digits represent the km-square, and
the third the 100m
