Zones

�e UTM system divides the Earth into 60 longitudinal projection zones numbered 1 to 60 starting at 180°W. Each of the zones is 6 degrees wide with a few exceptions around Norway and Svalbard. Each zone is based on its own Transverse Mercator projection. UTM uses a secant version of the Transverse Mercator with two standard lines located about180 km from the central meridian

Latitudinal zones are not part of the UTM, they are part of the Military General Refernce System (MGRS). �ey are o�en used in conjunction with the UTM. �ey extend from 84°N to 80°S and are designated with the letters C to X (skipping I and O). Each latitudinal zone is 8 degrees, except for the 12 degree zone X.

Beware of confusion between the standard N and S (indicating north and south of the Equator in the UTM system) and zone S in the MGRS with is in the northern hemisphere

Coordinates

A location referenced in the UTM system is denoted by the zone (north or south) and the easting and northing coordinate pair. �e easting is the projected distance, in meters, from the central meridian and the northing is the projected distance, in meters, from the Equator.

�e point of origin of each UTM zone is the intersection of the Equator and the zone's central meridian. In order to avoid dealing with negative numbers for easting, the central meridian of each zone is given a "false easting" value of 500,000 meters.

Northern hemisphere northings are measured from the Equator, which has an initial northing of 0 meters. In the southern hemisphere northings decrease as you go southward from the Equator, which is given a "false northing" of 10,000,000 meters so that no point within the zone has a negative northing value.
