[Qgis-user] How to identify UTM zone

[Mike Hyslop]

Hi Jean,

You cannot determine the UTM zone from a coordinate pair, as UTM
coordinates repeat across the 60 world zones. Can you ask the collaborator
for a local reference / an approximate location for the coordinates?  You
could then determine the zone by using a layer such as this:
https://apps.gis.ucla.edu/geodata/dataset/world_utm_zones/resource/fc8af8e2-0818-4f50-baf0-2cc04cbaa541

Best,
Mike
