(Universal Transverse Mercator System)
Programmers: Edward E. Carlson

Version 2.0
A: PURPOSE:
To convert NAD 27 or NAD 83 geodetic positions to NAD 27 or
NAD 83 universal transverse mercator coordinates (UTM) and vice versa.
B: INPUT:
1. The program will compute the UTM coordinates or
geodetic positions interactively or by batch.
a. By entering each geodetic position or each UTM coordinate.
OR
b. By using a Blue Book file with geodetic positions, *80*
records, following the format given in Appendix A or a
Blue Book file with the state plane coordinates, *81*
records, following the format given in Appendix B.
C: OUTPUT:
EITHER
1. A screen listing.
AND/OR
2. A file with name, latitude, longitude, northing, easting,
zone, convergence, scale factor, elevation, and geoid
height for geodetic positions to UTM coordinates
or a file with name, northing, easting, latitude,
longitude and zone number for UTM coordinates to
geodetic positions. Note: the geoid height value comes
from an *84* record following the format in Appendix C.
This record is optional.
AND/OR
3. An output file in blue book format.
D: EXECUTION:
1. Load the program (UTMS.EXE) from the floppy disk to the
main storage, or the program can be executed from a floppy disk
drive.
2. To execute the program:
a. Type UTMS or (disk drive name):UTMS
(floppy disk).
b. The program will prompt for:
Whether you want to compute:
I. Geodetic positions to universal transverse mercator coordinates
II. Universal transverse mercator coordinates to geodetic positions.
III. Print the output file on the printer.

i. Name for file to be printed.
NOTE: When computing UMT coordinates from a geodetic
position and then computing a geodetic position using the
computed UTM coordinates the computed geodetic postion
may not agree with the starting geodetic position. UTM
coordinates are given to only millimeter accuarcy. Whereas the
fifth place in the seconds of the latitude and longitude
corresponds to an accuarcy of approximately one tenth of a
millimeter.
