WGS84 UTM zone spatial reference

Remarks

The UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinate system divides the world into sixty north-south zones, each 6 degrees of longitude wide. Zone 1 begins at 180W, Zone 2 begins at 174W, Zone 3 begins at 168W, and so on. Each zone has a separate definited for the northern and southern hemisphere. For example, the point with coordinates (123.7, -22.3) is in WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_51S, and the point with coordinate (123.7, 22.3) is in WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_51N.
