100 km Square VB A 100 × 100 km grid square within the zone/band. Column letter V (west–east) and row letter B (south–north).
Easting 66454 Distance east within the 100 km square. 5-digit value = 10 m resolution. Multiply by 1 to get meters.
Northing 79715 Distance north within the 100 km square. Same resolution as easting (10 m).
