The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a global map projection system that divides the world into a series of zones, each represented by a flat, rectangular coordinate system. It uses a cylindrical projection to provide accurate and consistent mapping for small areas, making it especially useful for various applications in geospatial science, including surveying, mapping, and navigation.
