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

Excellent tutorials. To be honest the best tutorial i have ever seen. Thank you very much for sharing this information.
Thanks for the help. Very simple yet detailed and intuitive explanation. You truly know your craft!.
I guess Gis people really hate talking... I can't find a single video on UTM that isn't silent

Many instructors are non-English speaking, and so go for the pictorial method. They know English, but we judgmental Americanos don't like the different accents. Tru dat!

Thanks, this helped clear up some of my UTM questions with this weeks lessons. Just needed to see more examples on the maps and google earth.
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.

Your observation is very right.
Thank you very much. Your explanation is easy to understand for someone who is not familiar in this field before.
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?
I just watched a 20-minute-long video on this topic and I wasn't really getting it, even though I kept rewinding it. But this video explains it very clearly and concisely. Thank you.

Thnaks, nice comment - I like to keep things simple for an introduction
Very well layed out explanations!! Thank you👌
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. Very well explained.
This is good. Very comprehensive.
very useful tutorial... very well explained... superb... thank you
So, is the m2 size of each UTM cell the same for all cells or changes depending on the column?
The range actually changes as you move towards North or South poles. Thanks for your interest.
Thank you, great introduction!
Thank you so much, that was very excellent.
I truly appreciate your knowledge thanks
Before watching this video ... i read books but it didn't gives me clarity...but this one video gives me a clarity about UTM...thanks for uploading this video
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/
very good useful tutorial and Very well explain Thank you very much
Excellent video. Thanks
Very well explain. Thank you for sharing this video.
It was very informative !,thank you
WOW!!! Loved it ...
Fantastic, Thank you so much
OUTSTANDING JOB !!!!
It's very knowledgeable and can help most people
fantastic video!
Hi. I have a question! The northings changes 0 to 1000,000 m or to 10,000,000 m? And also the numbers of easting are west to east not east to west!
Thank you! :)
thanks for the tutorial, makes more sense than wiki
very helpful! thanks
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.

That's what I was thinking, this is for a simple Mercator projection, not a UTM
Excellent tutorial
Very informative.
Thank you!!
Really useful.
great explaination
Very informative 💓
Thanks so much
thank you
Thanks.
very good.
Thx very much! I catched easting but not northing.
Hi how to find the the scale factor of my location
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
i love u thank you

4:04 is wrong
Works best on the flat earth map.

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.
Ok
N 0 to 10,000,000
Pretty sure this vid is gonna trigger flat earthers
Uhm O_o ok...
It did not, unfortunately.
