I just watched a 20-minute-long video on this topic and I wasn't really getting it, even though I kept rewinding it. But this video explains it very clearly and concisely. Thank you.
Many instructors are non-English speaking, and so go for the pictorial method. They know English, but we judgmental Americanos don't like the different accents. Tru dat!
Before watching this video ... i read books but it didn't gives me clarity...but this one video gives me a clarity about UTM...thanks for uploading this video

Thanks for the help. Very simple yet detailed and intuitive explanation. You truly know your craft!.
Many misunderstandings of the fundamentals of UTM. The UTM cylinder is oriented east-west, not south-north (it is 'transverse' to the cylinder orientation in the Mercator projection) and it is secant (it slices through the Earth along the secant meridians). UTM coordinate systems are defined for the zones, not cells. The northing in the northern hemisphere starts from the Equator; in the southern hemisphere the Equator is assigned a false northing of 10,000,000, to prevent negative northings, and northings decrease southwards; ...etc.
4:04 appears to show an error since the range of Northings is many times larger than 1,000,000. The maximum Northing value is about 9,300,000 meters at latitude 84 degrees North, the north end of the UTM zones. In the southern hemisphere, the Northing at the equator is set at 10,000,000 meters so no point has a negative Northing value. Northings decrease southward from the equator to about 1,100,000 meters at 80 degrees South, the south end of the UTM zones. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system#Notation
I was wondering about this, since the metric system was originally based on the notion that the distance from the equator to either pole was ten million meters. Thank you for the explanation.
Yes, there seems to be an error at 4:04 about Northings. Correct Northing values are: 0 to 10,000,000 (10 million not 1 million) from the south pole to the equator and equator to the north pole. Here's a good tool to use to verify locations on a map using multiple systems: www.geoplaner.com/
Good video but when you introduce UTM at 0:35 sec you're not showing a transverse projection, you're showing a regular cylindrical projection with the scale being true at the equator not the prime meridian.
4:05 is saying one fourth of earth circumference is 1,000,000 meter or 1000 Km, so it means that earth circumference is 4000 Km which is totally wrong. so at 4:05 its not 1,000,000 m, it should be 10,000,000 m
Neat information. So I guess the zones better preserve the same area? I can't imagine much area distortion with eastings. Does the UTM do a better job of minimizing area distortion as meridians are straightened out?
Quite a few mistakes. C to X are not UTM cells. They are MGRS zones and have no proper purpose in UTM, since the co-ordinates are created in a zone that is 10,000,000m from south to north. Yes, ten million, not one million, which is the another mistake.
Excellent tutorials. To be honest the best tutorial i have ever seen. Thank you very much for sharing this information.

Thnaks, nice comment - I like to keep things simple for an introduction
I guess Gis people really hate talking... I can't find a single video on UTM that isn't silent
so it's not just me noticing that trend...

I prefer this to the AI generated voices.
Thank you very much. Your explanation is easy to understand for someone who is not familiar in this field before.
very good useful tutorial and Very well explain Thank you very much

Ok

Yes, I saw that error too.

Thanks, this helped clear up some of my UTM questions with this weeks lessons. Just needed to see more examples on the maps and google earth.
This is good. Very comprehensive.
Very well explain. Thank you for sharing this video.
very useful tutorial... very well explained... superb... thank you
Very well layed out explanations!! Thank you👌
It's very knowledgeable and can help most people
The range actually changes as you move towards North or South poles. Thanks for your interest.
Thank you. Now I understand it!
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. Very well explained.
thanks for the tutorial, makes more sense than wiki
Thank you so much, that was very excellent.
OUTSTANDING JOB !!!!
I truly appreciate your knowledge thanks
Thanks! Useful video
fantastic video!
Good video but when you introduce UTM at 0:35 sec you're not showing a transverse projection, you're showing a regular cylindrical projection with the scale being true at the equator not the prime meridian.
That's what I was thinking, this is for a simple Mercator projection, not a UTM
Very informative 💓
Excellent tutorial
Thank you! :)
great explaination
Excellent video. Thanks
Really useful.
Thx very much! I catched easting but not northing.
Thank you, great introduction!
WOW!!! Loved it ...
4:05 is saying one fourth of earth circumference is 1,000,000 meter or 1000 Km, so it means that earth circumference is 4000 Km which is totally wrong. so at 4:05 its not 1,000,000 m, it should be 10,000,000 m
Thanks so much
It was very informative !,thank you
Hi how to find the the scale factor of my location
So, is the m2 size of each UTM cell the same for all cells or changes depending on the column?
Fantastic, Thank you so much
Neat information. So I guess the zones better preserve the same area? I can't imagine much area distortion with eastings. Does the UTM do a better job of minimizing area distortion as meridians are straightened out?
Hi. I have a question! The northings changes 0 to 1000,000 m or to 10,000,000 m? And also the numbers of easting are west to east not east to west!
Thank you!!
Very informative.
i love u thank you
very good.
thanks bro

What is the name of the song?
It was music written by a good friend of mine. Send me your email address and I can send the track to you. Thanks for your interest.
That would be cool! It's rvdknives@gmx.ch
Thanks
probably youtube royalty music
Thanks.
I just want to go to McDonald's but my car gps won't take me so here I am watching how to get there with precision.
haha...wish we could switch places, cause i'm here because of Exams tomorrow
how to free download UTM map
Nice
Works best on the flat earth map.
4:04 is wrong

Pretty sure this vid is gonna trigger flat earthers

It did not, unfortunately.
Uhm O_o ok...
