UTM
The Universal Transverse Mercator Grid. In its simplest form the Transverse Mercator Projection is the projection of a sphere onto a cylinder wrapped around it with contact along a meridian. The term Transverse denotes the fact that the cylinder is in contact along a meridian instead of along the equator. The grid units shown on a 1:50,000 map consists of vertical lines parallel to the central (Greenwich) meridian and straight horizontal lines parallel to the equator. Vertical lines are measured from the Greenwich meridian and horizontal ones are measured from the equator. An application is illustrated in Figure 1.
