easting and northing now merged I ve merged the two articles however one sentance common to both I have left out since it doesn t really say anything useful Typically in mathematics and in land surveying in most parts of the world an XYZ convention is used for representing locations in plane surveying however in the United States for land surveying applications an NEZ convention is also quite common Can someone add an example of how to write an easting and northing explaining the degrees etc Preceding unsigned comment added by
