&gt; &gt; &gt; The Confluence Project, where people try to navigate by GPS to 1-<br/>
&gt;degree<br/>
&gt; &gt; &gt; intersections of latitude and longitude,<br/>
&gt; &gt; We have a similar group in the UK. The UK National Grid system<br/>
&gt;consists of 100km squares, within which coordinates are defined<br/>
&gt;by &quot;easting&quot; and &quot;northing&quot; figures...<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;There is also the UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) grid, which<br/>
&gt;covers the populated part of the world with a 1km grid in case anyone<br/>
&gt;needs to be bombed, arranged in zones.  For intersection hunters, a<br/>
&gt;major problem must occur near the edges of zones.  These areas are<br/>
&gt;generally covered by two, non-coincident, grids.  I suppose the<br/>
&gt;visitors specify the zones when they report their visits.  I am just<br/>
&gt;not excited by this idea.  There are pleanty of &quot;real&quot; (natural<br/>
&gt;feature) and pseudo-real (&quot;boundary&quot;) points to visit that do not<br/>
&gt;depend on the coordinate system.<br/>
