60 zones Numbered from 1-60 6 degrees of longitude wide. 80° S to 84° N In the Polar Regions
Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) is used Note that there are a few exceptions to zone width in
Northern Europe to keep small countries in a single zone.

20 subzones Littered Alphabetically Each zone is divided into horizontal bands spanning 8
degrees of latitude. These bands are lettered, south to north, beginning at 80° S with the letter C and ending with the letter X at 84° N. The letters I and O are skipped to avoid confusion with the numbers one and zero. The band lettered X spans 12° of latitude.
UTM SUBZONES
![Page 13: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A single grid zone measures about 20,000km tall and only about 700km wide. So the above diagram has been compressed in the vertical axis by about 15X. The eastern and western zone boundaries are truly much straighter
A square grid is superimposed on each zone. It's aligned so that vertical grid lines are parallel to the center of the zone, called the central meridian.
UTM grid coordinates are expressed as a distance in meters to the east, referred to as the "easting", and a distance in meters to the north, referred to as the "northing".
![Page 14: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
UTM easting coordinates are referenced to the center line of the zone known as the central meridian. The central meridian is assigned an easting value of 500,000 meters East. Since this 500,000m value is arbitrarily assigned, eastings are sometimes referred to as "false eastings"
An easting of zero will never occur, since a 6° wide zone is never more than 674,000 meters wide.
Minimum and maximum easting values are: 160,000 mE and 834,000 mE at the equator 465,000 mE and 515,000 mE at 84° N
EASTING
![Page 15: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
UTM northing coordinates are measured relative to the equator. For locations north of the equator the equator is assigned the northing value of 0 meters North. To avoid negative numbers, locations south of the equator are made with the equator assigned a value of 10,000,000 meters North.
Some UTM northing values are valid both north and south of the equator. In order to avoid confusion the full coordinate needs to specify if the location is north or south of the equator. Usually this is done by including the letter for the latitude band.
If this is your first exposure to the UTM coordinate system you may find the layout of zones to be confusing. In most land navigation situations the area of interest is much smaller than a zone. The notion of a zone falls away and we are left with a simple rectangular coordinate system to use with our large scale maps.

GRID SYSTEM
The north-south lines in a grid system are called Eastings and increase in value from west to east.
The east-west lines in a grid system are called Northings and their value increases from south to north.
The numerical value of an Easting and Northing are referenced to a specific origin.

WHY DO WE NEED A FALSE ORIGIN?
• Designation of the central meridian as the reference y-axis (i.e. Easting = 0) of the coordinate system within each zone would result in negative Easting values For this reason, the central meridian is assigned an arbitrary value of 500000 meters called False Easting
• The equator is designated as the horizontal reference axis for UTM Northing coordinates and is assigned a value of 0 meters North (0m N) ,the equator is assigned a value of 10,000,000 meters for referencing Northing This is called False Northing

divided into squares and these squares are further divided.

REGION
Definition: A region is defined as an area with common features that set it apart from other areas. Regions can vary in size from very small to half of the earth's surface.
![Page 38: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
WORLD REGIONS
Whole earth is divided into regions on the basis of common features they possess some of them are ; Physical regions Climate regions Cultural regions Political regions Economic regions
![Page 39: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
POLITICAL REGIONS:
The area contained and set up by government for political & administrative reasons.
The physical features, culture and climate conditions might be different within the region for example: United States of America, China and Pakistan.
![Page 40: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
PHYSICAL REGIONS: Regions defined by earths natural features or
topography. Physical regions have common landforms like
continents , mountains and plains etc. For example : Rocky mountains and coastal plains
etc.
![Page 41: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

CLIMATE REGIONS :
Based on weather pattern of an area over long period of time common features are rainfall totals , temperature averages for example :
Climate at the equator is hot and humid and climate at north pole is cold and snowy.
![Page 43: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

CULTURAL REGIONS: The language, religion and ethnic heritage of a group of
people. Common features are groups with common languages, religions and nationalities.
For example: Latin America is a cultural region, it includes South America, Central America and the Caribbean islands. Most people speak Spanish, Portuguese or French, most people are Roman Catholic In faith so it puts together wide range of people together with similar characteristics.

POLITICAL REGIONS:
The area contained and set up by government for political & administrative reasons.
The physical features, culture and climate conditions might be different within the region for example: United States of America, China and Pakistan.

ECONOMIC REGION :
An economic region is an area in which particular types of commerce take place based on administrative or geographical boundaries. These boundaries come in the form of state lines, international borders or natural geographic landmarks.
![Page 49: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

SUB REGION :
A sub region is a part of a larger region or continent and is usually based on location.
Cardinal directions, such as south or southern, are commonly used to define a sub region.
![Page 51: UTM UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102715/5871c7761a28ab55058b84ab/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
For exampleAsia is a region further divided into sub regions like Central Asia, Eastern Asia, Southeastern
Asia, Southern Asia, Western Asia. Like divisions of Regions, sub-regions also follows
the same pattern for sub-divisions i.e. Administrative, cultural and geographical etc.
