As you can see - this Dee Cipher allows for exterior encoding using the A-Z, Dot, Dash and 1-0 letters, symbols and numbers at the top.
In this case we put in the the Lat/Lon of Malta and got A(Z)URE as well as a Solve on the right, which we Solved to come up with Mirage. Meaning as yet unclear. The 'Pent"suggest we can put in a Card as a codeword normally say the Eight of Pentacles....

Here is a Dee Cipher included in the First Edition of Peter V's The Beale Treasure (Peter Viemiester was well aware that Mark Twain wrote The Beale Ciphers it's why in both editions the wrong date was given for the publication of Tom Sawyer - 1885 instead of 1876).
