Paper maps often are published with overlaid rectangular (as opposed to latitude/longitude) grids to provide a reference to identify locations. However, these grids, if non-standard or proprietary (such as so-called "bingo" grids with references such as "B-4"), are typically not interoperable with each other, nor can they usually be used with GPS.

North America. This is a list of the extreme points of North America: the points that are highest and lowest, and farther north, south, east or west than any other location on the continent. Some of these points are debatable, given the varying definitions of North America.
Given that every projection gives deformations, each country's needs are different in order to reduce these distortions. These national projections, or national Coordinate Reference Systems are officially announced by the relevant national agencies. The list below is a collection of available official national projected Coordinate Reference ...
Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 26.5 degrees. At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.1325 degrees per pixel. At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0265 degrees per pixel. Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 13.35 degrees. At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.0668 degrees per pixel.
Age of the bedrock underlying North America, from red (oldest) to blue, green, yellow (newest). Seventy percent of North America is underlain by the Laurentia craton, [5] which is exposed as the Canadian Shield in much of central and eastern Canada around the Hudson Bay, and as far south as the U.S. states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

NAD 27 is oriented by declaring the azimuth from Meades Ranch to Waldo Station (also in Osborne County, about 4.5 mi (7.2 km) northwest of Waldo, Russell County) [10] to be 255°28′14.52″ from north. The latitude and longitude of every other point in North America is then based on its distance and direction from Meades Ranch: If a point was ...
