The older Irish grid reference system required GPS measurements to be "translated" (using co-ordinate transformations).The more precise the GPS measurements were, the more the translation process introduced inaccuracies.
The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) [1] is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on Earth. The MGRS is derived from the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system and the Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) grid system, but uses a different labeling convention.
This template should be used for lists of locations and such like within the OS Grid area, and is to enable compact inclusion of externally sourced OS grid references. Both the WGS coordinates (via their link) and the OS grid ref (via clicking the number) link to the GeoHack page, each using their own data.
The Irish grid reference system is a system of geographic grid references used for paper mapping in Ireland (both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland). [1] Any location in Ireland can be described in terms of its distance from the origin (0, 0), which lies off the southwest coast. [ 2 ]
A projected coordinate system – also called a projected coordinate reference system, planar coordinate system, or grid reference system – is a type of spatial reference system that represents locations on Earth using Cartesian coordinates (x, y) on a planar surface created by a particular map projection.

The World Geographic Reference System (GEOREF) is a geocode, a grid-based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth. GEOREF is essentially based on the geographic system of latitude and longitude , but using a simpler and more flexible notation .
Health insurance industry officials remain uncharacteristically reserved in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4.. A week after the attack, the ...
European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89) Military grid reference system, a variant of UTM designed to simplify transfer of coordinates. Modified transverse Mercator, a variation of UTM used in Canada with zones spaced 3° of longitude apart as opposed to UTM's 6°. Transverse Mercator projection, the map projection used by UTM.
