The UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) system is a system of coordinates that describes position on a map. GPS receivers can display locations in UTM coordinates. Most maps, especially those for hikers, display UTM coordinates.
UTM zones are numbered 1 through 60, starting at the international date line, longitude 180Â°, and proceeding east. Zone 1 extends from 180Â° W to 174Â° W and is centered on 177Â° W. Each zone is divided into horizontal bands spanning 8 degrees of latitude.
