column r/w TIMETRA-TC-MIBTItemDescription
The value of tmnxChassisCoordinates specifies the Global Positioning
System (GPS) coordinates for the location of the system.
              
   N 45 58 23, W 34 56 12
   N37 37' 00 latitude, W122 22' 00 longitude
   N36*39.246'  W121*40.121'
              
Two-dimensional GPS positioning offers latitude and longitude
information as a four dimensional vector:
              
   <Direction, hours, minutes, seconds>
              
where Direction is one of the four basic values: N, S, W, E; hours
ranges from 0 to 180 (for latitude) and 0 to 90 for longitude, and,
finally, minutes and seconds range from 0 to 60.
              
Thus <W, 122, 56, 89> is an example of longitude and <N, 85, 66, 43>
is an example of latitude.
              
Four bytes of addressing space (one byte for each of the four
dimensions) are necessary to store latitude and four bytes are also
sufficient to store longitude. Thus eight bytes total are necessary
to address the whole surface of earth with precision down to 0.1
mile!  Notice that if we desired precision down to 0.001 mile (1.8
meters) then we would need just five bytes for each component, or ten
bytes together for the full address (as military versions provide).
