I came accross a marker at the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery in California.

I can email a picture if you would like.

The website gives the location as

Lat: 37° 06' 57.5" N Lon: 121° 04' 58.3" W

but the marker says

N224839.76 E1831378.34

Can anyone "learn me" what these numbers mean?

 

Thanks,

 

Ron

It's just a different way to write the same coordinate. Instead of using degrees they use feet (I assume). NAD83 is a different coordinate plane, which does not change the format of the coordinate per se, but the location as the WGS84 is a more updated plane that is commonly used today. Correct me if Im wrong, but I believe this is correct.
