Definición

  • The map projection-based coordinate system known as Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is used around the world for GIS data sets and for base maps in many countries. Most of the newer USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangles use UTM as their base map projection and have kilometers, tic marks, or grid lines representing UTM eastings and northings.
