This layer presents the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zones of the world, symbolizing the 6-degree wide zones employed for UTM projection.

The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.

The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system is a standard set of map projections with a central meridian for each six-degree wide UTM zone. The transverse Mercator map projection is an adaptation of the standard Mercator projection which flips …

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 zones are numbered 1-60, beginning at 180-degrees longitude and increasing to the east.

UTM Grid Zones of the World There are 60 longitudinal projection zones numbered 1 to 60 starting at 180°W. Each of these zones is 6 degrees wide, apart from a few exceptions around Norway and Svalbard. There are 20 latitudinal zones spanning the latitudes 80°S to 84°N and denoted by the letters C to X, ommitting the letters I and O.

2010年11月4日 · This layer presents the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zones of the world. The layer symbolizes the 6-degree wide zones employed for UTM projection.

Let's look at where the various parts of the UTM position come from on the map. The map has grid lines spaced every kilometer or 1000 meters. The grid is labeled with UTM coordinate values. The vertical grid lines determine East-West position …

2023年2月19日 · UTM is a precise, grid-based coordinate system ideal for regional mapping and navigation, utilizing 60 zones to minimize distortion.
