The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude , it is a horizontal position representation , which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid .
You can use the tool below to convert a list of many UTM coordinate points to their latitude and longitude values. Replace the coordinates below with a comma separated (CSV) list with one UTM point on every line. Click "Convert!" to add latitude and longitude to the coordinates.
UTM is the acronym for Universal Transverse Mercator, a plane coordinate grid system named for the map projection on which it is based (Transverse Mercator). The UTM system consists of 60 zones, each 6-degrees of longitude in width.
For coordinate conversion, NCAT allows conversion between lat/long/height, SPC, UTM, XYZ, and USNG systems. NCAT currently uses NADCON* to perform three-dimensional (latitude, longitude, ellipsoid height) coordinate transformations and VERTCON* to perform orthometric height transformations.

UTM divides the earth into 60 zones, each 6° wide in longitude (with the exception of a few non-standard-width zones for Svalbard and southwest Norway). UTM is limited to the area between 84°N and 80°S. Beyond that, Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) coordinates are used. See section on UPS.
Let's look at where the various parts of the UTM position come from on the map. The map has grid lines spaced every kilometer or 1000 meters. The grid is labeled with UTM coordinate values. The vertical grid lines determine East-West position and the horizontal grid lines determine North-South position.

UTM, MGRS, and USNG Coordinates on USGS Topographic Maps. All USGS topographic maps printed in the last 30 years or so include either UTM grid lines, in black or UTM grid tick marks, in blue, on the margin of the map. The UTM Grid lines are also used with MRGS and USNG coordinates. Printed UTM Grid Lines
The boxes below allow you to enter either UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) or geographic (latitude and longitude) coordinates. After entering them and clicking the button: the marker on the map will be updated; both the UTM and geographic coordinates will be updated
