Introduction to UTM, Universal Transverse Mercator

UTM is a coordinate system designed for projecting a 3D sphere (Earth) onto a 2D map, while latitude and longitude are used to locate places on Earth’s 3D surface.
This video is a basic introduction to Universal Transverse Mercator and how Eastings and Northings are used to locate features on the Earth’s surface

    Many misunderstandings of the fundamentals of UTM. The UTM cylinder is oriented east-west, not south-north (it is 'transverse' to the cylinder orientation in the Mercator projection) and it is secant (it slices through the Earth along the secant meridians). UTM coordinate systems are defined for the zones, not cells. The northing in the northern hemisphere starts from the Equator; in the southern hemisphere the Equator is assigned a false northing of 10,000,000, to prevent negative northings, and northings decrease southwards; ...etc.

    Neat information. So I guess the zones better preserve the same area? I can't imagine much area distortion with eastings. Does the UTM do a better job of minimizing area distortion as meridians are straightened out?

    4:04 appears to show an error since the range of Northings is many times larger than 1,000,000. The maximum Northing value is about 9,300,000 meters at latitude 84 degrees North, the north end of the UTM zones. In the southern hemisphere, the Northing at the equator is set at 10,000,000 meters so no point has a negative Northing value. Northings decrease southward from the equator to about 1,100,000 meters at 80 degrees South, the south end of the UTM zones. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system#Notation

    I was wondering about this, since the metric system was originally based on the notion that the distance from the equator to either pole was ten million meters. Thank you for the explanation.

    Yes, there seems to be an error at 4:04 about Northings. Correct Northing values are: 0 to 10,000,000 (10 million not 1 million) from the south pole to the equator and equator to the north pole. Here's a good tool to use to verify locations on a map using multiple systems: www.geoplaner.com/

    Good video but when you introduce UTM at 0:35 sec you're not showing a transverse projection, you're showing a regular cylindrical projection with the scale being true at the equator not the prime meridian.

    4:05 is saying one fourth of earth circumference is 1,000,000 meter or 1000 Km, so it means that earth circumference is 4000 Km which is totally wrong. so at 4:05 its not 1,000,000 m, it should be 10,000,000 m

    Quite a few mistakes. C to X are not UTM cells. They are MGRS zones and have no proper purpose in UTM, since the co-ordinates are created in a zone that is 10,000,000m from south to north. Yes, ten million, not one million, which is the another mistake.
