Degrees to UTM Coordinate Converter: A Convenient Tool for Geographers

Are you a geographer or a cartographer in need of converting degrees to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates? Look no further than the Degrees to UTM Coordinate Converter, a free and user-friendly tool that can help you achieve your goals.

The converter is designed to handle decimal and DDMMSS latitude/longitude values, as well as convert them back again. With support for 14 different datums, including NAD27 and WGS84, this tool is suitable for use with a variety of mapping systems.

To get started, simply enter your longitude degree value in the designated field. For East longitudes, enter '1', while West longitudes require a negative value. If you prefer to work with positive values only, you can enter '1' and then provide both positive and negative values for the longitude degree value.

One important note is that if you leave the Hemisphere column blank, the calculated degree value for longitude will always be zero. This means that it's essential to fill in this field accurately to ensure accurate conversions.

The converter also includes features for converting latitude and longitude values from degrees, minutes, and seconds to a DD MM SS string, DD MM.d string, or numeric decimal degrees. This flexibility makes it easy to work with different types of coordinate systems.

If you need to convert large numbers of coordinates, the Degrees to UTM Coordinate Converter can handle up to 5000 sets at once. With its ability to run in Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice formats, this tool is accessible to users of various software programs.

Unfortunately, the Cartisan Maps website that hosted this converter is no longer active. However, we have uploaded the relevant files to MediaFire, making it easy for you to access and use this valuable tool.

By using the Degrees to UTM Coordinate Converter, you can streamline your geographic data conversion tasks and focus on more important aspects of your work. With its ease of use and flexibility, this converter is an essential resource for anyone working with coordinates regularly.
