Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system
Class Definition
Used worldwide, the UTM grid system divides the Earth’s surface between 84° N and 80° S into 60 zones. Each zone covers 6° of longitude and is numbered sequentially with zone 1 beginning at 180° W. Each zone is further divided into the northern and southern hemispheres. The designation of a UTM zone therefore carries a number and a letter.
