Name	Dimension	Type	Description
Cartesian-x	Distance	Real Number	The X component of the position vector with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Cartesian-y	Distance	Real Number	The Y component of the position vector with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Cartesian-z	Distance	Real Number	The Z component of the position vector with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Geodetic-Lat	Latitude	Real Number or Text	The detic latitude of the object's location.
Geodetic-Lon	Longitude	Real Number or Text	The detic longitude of the object's location.
Geodetic-Alt	Distance	Real Number	The altitude value (i.e., magnitude of the relative position vector between the object's location and its detic subpoint).
Geocentric-Lat	Latitude	Real Number or Text	The signed angle measured from the XY plane to the detic subpoint, where positive angles are used for locations above the XY plane, and negative for those below.
Geocentric-Lon	Longitude	Real Number or Text	The signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the detic subpoint into the XY plane of the object's central body fixed coordinate system. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis.
Geocentric-Alt	Distance	Real Number	The altitude value (i.e., magnitude of the relative position vector between the object and its detic subpoint). Its value is the sum of the ground altitude and the height above ground.
Spherical-Lat	Latitude	Real Number or Text	The signed angle measured from the XY plane to the position vector, where positive angles are used for locations above the XY plane, and negative for those below.
Spherical-Lon	Longitude	Real Number or Text	The signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the position vector into the XY plane of the object's central body fixed coordinate system. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis.
Spherical-Rad	Distance	Real Number	The magnitude of the position vector.
Cylindrical-R	Distance	Real Number	The radius value of the cylindrical coordinate representation of the position vector, where the cylinder's symmetry axis is the Z axis. Its value is the magnitude of the projection of the position vector into the XY plane of the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Cylindrical-Lon	Longitude	Real Number or Text	The signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the position vector into the XY plane of the object's central body fixed coordinate system. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis.
Cylindrical-Z	Distance	Real Number	The Z component of the position vector with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Alt AGL	Distance	Real Number	The altitude above ground level. The difference between the altitude and the terrain altitude. If no terrain is found at the detic subpoint, then the string "No Terrain" is returned.
Ground Alt	Distance	Real Number	The altitude of the ground.
Terrain Alt	Distance	Real Number or Text	The terrain altitude. The altitude of the terrain located at the detic subpoint's latitude and longitude, measured from the object's central body surface along the surface normal through the detic subpoint. If no terrain is found at the detic subpoint, then the string "No Terrain" is returned.
Alt MSL	Distance	Real Number	The altitude above mean sea level. The difference between the altitude and the height of mean sea level, measured from the object's central body surface along the surface normal through the detic subpoint.
Ground Alt MSL	Distance	Real Number	The altitude of the ground, expressed with respect to mean sea level.
UTM Zone	Unitless	Text	The UTM Zone character indicator for the object's location. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM Easting	Distance	Real Number	The easting value within the UTM zone for the object's location. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM Northing	Distance	Real Number	The northing value within the UTM zone for the object's location. Available only when the central body is Earth.
MGRS Cell	Unitless	Text	The MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) code for the cell area containing the object's location. Available only when the central body is Earth.
