<strong>MAP</strong> REFERENCING SYSTEMS Latitude & Longitude (Spherical system) Universal Transverse Mercator (Grid system) Military (Grid system) All systems use the intersection of an X and Y plane These 3 systems appear on Canadian topographic maps
UTM GRID SYSTEM Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Grid is a “planar” coordinate system. It deliberately attempts to remove the curvature of the earth in order to work on a flat surface. To create the flat surface the Earth is divided into 60 strips like sections of an orange.
