Solve the crossword puzzle and then count the amount of letters in the solution to get the coordinates. So for North you need to count the amount of "S's".

N S° (A+O).DPQ
E MZ° (T+E).(I-K)(Y+W)(J+F)

So if S=1 and H=2 and I=3 and R=4 and Y=5 and L=6 and Z = 7
N S (H+I+R).YLZ would come out N 1° 9.567
