[Qgis-user] Two zones UTM covering Mining Licence Area

[Madry, Scott]

You can artificially extend the southern zone numbers up in Easting and Northing to include the northern zone, if it is not too far. This is commonly done where two UTM zones make up a study area.

I hope this helps,

Scott Madry

Unfortunatelly ,my licence area is covered by two UTM zones (35 North ans 36North.  How Can work in order not to make error ? Can I consider just one zone ? Can I uze another metric cordinate system ?

You may want to project into one or the other of the zones. This is useful particularly in the case where you want to line up adjacent line or polygon features (like water courses or land cover) prior to merging them.

You might also want to consider putting everything in a non UTM projection. But UTM is appropriate for area calculation for example.
