The UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6° of longitude in width. Zone 1 covers longitude 180° to 174° W; zone numbering increases eastward to zone 60, which covers longitude 174°E to 180°.
Explore detailed UTM zone maps with grid overlays and UTM coordinates. Quickly find your location’s UTM zone and understand how Universal Transverse Mercator mapping works.
The Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinate (UTM) system provides coordinates on a world wide flat grid for easy computation. The Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinate system divides the World into 60 zones, each being 6 degrees longitude wide, and extending from 80 degrees south latitude to 84 degrees north latitude
UTM is the acronym for Universal Transverse Mercator, a plane coordinate grid system named for the map projection on which it is based (Transverse Mercator). The UTM system consists of 60 zones, each 6-degrees of longitude in width.
The foundation of the 60 UTM zones is a secant Transverse Mercator projection, very similar to those used in some State Plane Coordinate systems. The central meridian of the zones is exactly in the middle.
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) segments the Earth into 60 zones (each UTM zone is 6°) and projects each zone with an upright cylinder of its own.
Convert Geographic Units NOTE: UTM and NATO easting and northing values are rounded to the nearest meter. Conversions to NATO coordinates are only done for the WGS84 ellipsoid.
UT Martin embraces the critical role faculty play in developing and delivering an academically challenging curriculum, advising and mentoring students and participating in scholarly activities.
The grid is labeled with UTM coordinate values. The vertical grid lines determine East-West position and the horizontal grid lines determine North-South position.
