east coordinates and north coordinates

delta north coordinates + delta east coordinates = distance

I am guessing (based on your classification of the question under Geography/Maps) because I have not come across this "فرق الشماليات وفرق الشرقيات" before. Neither has Google, apparently :-)

You can use "difference" if you don't like "delta" (as if that were the problem).

check out Brassey's Multilingual Military Dictionary (ISBN 0-08-027032-8) published in 1987 by Brassey's Defence Publishers Ltd., the entry for easting(s) = sharqiyaat is no. 1408 and is on page 87.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Hassan Al-Haifi (wordforword) : where diid you come up with such words?!!We can take it for granted judging from our peer's comment that this is not frequwently used, or rather simply does not sound right.

they may sound strange to an unpractised ear but these are the technical terms used by the military - have you actually read the Google entries? ps - it's "most of the time"
