Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system
The
Universal Transverse Mercator
(
UTM
) conformal projection uses a
2-dimensional
Cartesian coordinate system
to give locations on the surface of the
Earth
. Like the traditional method of
latitude
and
longitude
, it is a
horizontal position representation
, i.e. it is used to identify locations on the Earth independently of
vertical position
. However, it differs from that method in several respects.
