100 km Square FP A 100 × 100 km grid square within the zone/band. Column letter F (west–east) and row letter P (south–north).
Easting 53870 Distance east within the 100 km square. 5-digit value = 10 m resolution. Multiply by 1 to get meters.
Northing 21382 Distance north within the 100 km square. Same resolution as easting (10 m).
