The Universal Grids and the Transverse Mercator and Polar Stereographic Map Projections, Version 2.0.0
Year: 2014 Language: english Author: NGA Genre: Technical book Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 86 Description: Earth features are commonly referenced by geographic coordinates — longitude and latitude. However, these coordinates are not suitable in all situations to report positions or to calculate distances or directions. To perform these functions conveniently, grids and grid coordinate systems have been invented. A national grid is devised by a national authority and covers a single country (or part of it). The universal grids, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS), were devised by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and taken together cover the whole Earth. The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is the pair, UTM and UPS, after some reformatting (e.g. lettering) is applied to each.
