AI AgentFrequently asked questions
What UTM zone am I in?
Press My location or search your town: the map shows your zone, such as 18N for New York or 31N for Paris, with its band letter and EPSG code. The zone number is the 6 degree strip of longitude; N or S is the hemisphere.
Which EPSG code do I pick for my UTM zone?
For data in WGS 84, the code is 32600 plus the zone in the northern hemisphere and 32700 plus the zone in the southern one: zone 14N is EPSG:32614. Data in NAD83, ETRS89, SIRGAS 2000 or GDA2020 uses that datum's code, which the map shows where it applies.
What is the difference between WGS 84 and NAD83 UTM zones?
The zones are the same strips, but the datums differ by about a metre in North America today, more each year with plate motion. Use the code of the datum your data was collected in.
Why is zone 32V in Norway wider?
Zone 32V was widened to 9 degrees so southwest Norway sits in one zone, and around Svalbard zones 31X, 33X, 35X and 37X are 9 or 12 degrees wide while 32X, 34X and 36X do not exist.
About this tool
The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system splits the world into 60 zones, each 6 degrees of longitude wide, numbered from 1 at 180° W eastward, and into latitude bands of 8 degrees lettered C to X from 80° S to 84° N. This map draws every zone and band. Search a place, type coordinates in any format, use your location or click the map to get the zone and hemisphere (for example 14N for Mexico City), the band letter, the central meridian, the zone bounds, the EPSG code of the zone in WGS 84 and in the datum used where you are (NAD83, ETRS89, SIRGAS 2000, GDA2020 or JGD2011), and the point in UTM easting and northing. Download the zone or the whole grid as GeoJSON, KML or Shapefile, or open the coordinate converter set to the zone. Norway's wider zone 32V and the Svalbard zones are drawn as the grid defines them.
How it works
- Search a place, paste coordinates in any format, press My location, or click the map.
- Read the zone, its EPSG codes and the point in UTM, and copy what you need.
- Download the zone or the grid as GeoJSON, KML or Shapefile, or open the converter set to the zone.
How the zones are computed
Zones and bands are computed from the UTM definition, with the Norway and Svalbard exceptions of the military grid. EPSG codes are the standard codes of each datum's UTM projection; a regional code is shown only where that datum is used. Nothing is sent to a server except a place you search.
