| Sep 4, 2015 at 22:06 | comment | added | saltface | Your last paragraph gave me a slap-in-the-face of clarity. I always thought of UTM zones as being measured off an imaginary baseline 500,000m west of the central meridian and forming the western boundary of the zone (which in hindsight would never work, UTM zones have curved boundaries and are always narrower than 1,000,000m). I need to think of them like pH values where 7 is the center. | |
