For example, the peak of Mount Assiniboine (at ) in UTM Zone 11 is represented by 11U 594934 5636174. Other conventions can also be used, such as a truncated grid reference, which would shorten the example coordinates to 949-361  . Negative northing and easting values indicate a position south and west of the origin, respectively. Usually associated with a map projection is a natural origin, e.g., at which the ellipsoid and flat map surfaces coincide. To ensure that the northing and easting coordinates on a map are not negative, map projections may set up a false origin, specified in terms of false northing and false easting values, that offset the true origin  .
For example, the peak of Mount Assiniboine (at ) in UTM Zone 11 is represented by 11U 0594934 5636174. Subset conventions can also be used, such as a truncated grid reference, where the general location is already known to participants and may be assumed. Because the (leading) most significant digits specify the part of the world and the (trailing) least significant digits provide a precision that is not needed in most circumstances, they may be redundant for trekking use. This permits users to shorten the example coordinates to 949-361 by concealing .
