1. • Universal Transverse Mercator

     • On the other hand, WGS84 UTM, where UTM stands for Universal Transverse Mercator, is a projected coordinate system. It uses a grid system that divides the Earth into zones and employs Cartesian coordinate values in meters, kilometers, or miles. This projection is particularly useful for local-scale mapping and accurate distance calculations.

   What is UTM projection in geography?

   • UTM Projection As the name suggests, the Universal Transverse Mercator projection is based on the cylindrical Transverse Mercator projection. The cylinder in the Transverse Mercator projection is tangent along a meridian (line of longitude) or it is secant, in which case it cuts through the earth at two standard meridians.

   What is the difference between UTM and projected coordinate system?

   • UTM Coordinate System – UTM Grid. In contrast to the projected coordinate system, the geographic coordinate system uses curved grids in order to accommodate the curved surface of the earth; and the geographic latitude, longitude coordinates are measured in degrees, minutes and seconds of arc.

   What is a UTM coordinate system?

   • UTM Coordinate System – UTM Grid By means of a map projection, the earth's curved surface is transformed to a flat two-dimensional surface. A coordinate system or grid is superimposed on the resulting flat surface. Such a coordinate system provides a referencing frame in order to define the position of objects.

   How do UTM projections work?

   • In the UTM projection the transverse cylinder rotates by 6° increments, thus creating 60 (360° / 6°) strips or projection zones. In such a projection, instead of projecting the complete globe into a flat surface, each of the 60 strips or zones gets projected onto a plane separately, therefore minimizing scale distortion within each zone.

   5 days ago · Annotation. Although the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator's rendering of the earth has been criticized for the way it distorts reality, it was revolutionary in the way it organized space and distance.
