Easting means the x coordinate on a map. It measures the eastward distance. The other coordinate is Northing.
False easting is a term used in cartography and geospatial analysis to describe a horizontal shift applied to the coordinates of a map projection. This adjustment is made to ensure that all points on a map have positive x-coordinates (eastings), which simplifies calculations and representation. For example, in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system, a false easting of 500,000 meters is added to the coordinates to prevent negative values, making the map easier to work with.
Easting
The grid zone designation of a map can be determined from the UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinates provided on the map. The UTM coordinates consist of the zone number and the easting and northing values, which help identify the specific grid zone on the map.
When reading grid references on a map, start by identifying the easting (horizontal) coordinate, followed by the northing (vertical) coordinate. Ensure you read the numbers accurately and place them in the correct order to pinpoint the location on the map.
Easting along with northing are Cartesian coordinates for a geographic point. Easting refers to the eastward-measured distance (or x-coordinate). These coordinates are most commonly associated with the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system.
On an OS map, the grid numbers increase as you go north. The grid numbers are used to locate positions on the map, with the first part of the grid reference representing the easting (horizontal) value and the second part representing the northing (vertical) value.

No, and actually he died after easting tainted pork.
Easting and Northing mostly
You can convert latitude and longitude to easting and northing using a map projection system like Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) or a local grid system. Each system has its own specific formulas for the conversion based on the geographic coordinates and the projection parameters. It's recommended to use specialized software or tools for accurate conversions.
