A particular subset of the transverse Mercator is the Universal Transverse
66
Mercator (UTM) which was adopted by the US Army for large-scale military maps.

Here, the globe is divided into 60 zones between 84°S and 84°N, most of which

In order to minimize the distortion in any given zone, a scale factor of 0.9996
1313
has been factored into the formulae. This makes the UTM projection a secant
1414
projection and not a tangent projection like the transverse Mercator above. The
1515
scale only varies by 1 part in 1,000 from true scale at equator. The

ellipsoidal projection expressions are accurate for map areas that extend less
