UTM Coordinate API
UTM ↔ geographic coordinate conversion as an API, computed locally and deterministically on the WGS84 ellipsoid. The from-latlon endpoint projects a latitude and longitude into the Universal Transverse Mercator grid — returning the zone (1–60), the hemisphere, the latitude band letter, and the easting and northing in metres — using the Snyder/USGS Transverse Mercator series, which is accurate to a few millimetres within a zone; New York (40.7128, −74.0060) maps to zone 18N at about 583960 E, 4507351 N, and the canonical 45°N on a central meridian gives a northing of exactly 4982950.40 m. The to-latlon endpoint inverts it, recovering the latitude and longitude from a zone, hemisphere, easting and northing. Each zone is 6° of longitude wide with a 500000 m false easting on its central meridian and a 10000000 m false northing in the southern hemisphere. Latitude is valid from −80° to 84°. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for GIS, surveying, mapping, geospatial, drone-mapping and location app developers, coordinate-conversion and grid-reference tools, and spatial software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 2 endpoints. This is UTM on WGS84; for the polar regions use UPS and for an EPSG-code lookup use an EPSG API.
