This 1km square is located at 706km E 4344km N Usually we need to be a bit more precise about a location!

Using UTM is Easy Take a look at the “UTM Practice Map” handout. Can you quickly determine what map feature is at: 755.2 km E 4255.4 km N

100m square example

Using a distance scale, marked in meters, to measure UTM coordinates

There are many ways to write the same position... c i s o n | V Kilometers Meters 755km E 4255km N 755000m E 4255000m N 755.2km E 4255.4km N 755200m E 4255400m N 755.23km E 4255.48km N 755230m E 4255480m N 755.234km E 4255.483km N 755234m E 4255483m N 755.200km 755 200m

More about UTM

Transverse Mercator Projection Central meridian is selected by the map maker and touches the cylinder. Maps using the projection can show the whole Earth, but directions, distances, and areas are reasonably accurate only within 15° of the central meridian.

UTM Zones World is divided into 60 zones. Each zone is 6° of longitude wide. Zones are numbered 1 to 60, starting at 180° and progressing to the east.
