This video was very helpful! I am in a geology lab and I have been looking all day for a source to explain the UTM system in a way I can understand and you did the job perfectly! Your a lifesaver, thank you for the great content!!!
I can not even begin to explain how much sense this makes now that you've explained it so concise. I will pass my exam solely because of this video THANK YOU
Thanks for this Kevin. I have always used longitude and latitude in the past. This will make topo map & GPS navigation more accurate for my wife and I because when we are exploring Crown land we like record waypoints along our route and points of interest, such as good potential camping sites, trails we have happened upon, etc. This video will along us to transfer the GPS coordinates to the paper topo map for more accurate recording of the things we have discovered out there. Cheers! - Martin
That was very cool!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this!! We like to carry both our GPS and a map of where we're heading too. Cheers !! Jonny and Colleen
oh sure, another brain-scrambler... your delivery is perfect for my nimbly wobbly thought process It left a lasting impression on my memory, cleared it right out, whew sure was messy in there...Thanks as we wrote 49 and 05 04 06 helped get me in shape ... cause I had to use my toes... puff puff... think I might have to watch this several times before I give up or learn
Thank you. Very understandable video and I thank you. However the map you chose had those bright red lines which you didn’t explain what they are, and it was hard to see the UTM Grid lines you were actually showing us because of all the red lines. That would be my only negative comment. Everything else is 99.9 positive. A big thumbs up :-)
Taking my first geology class this semester, I really appreciate this. Thank you.

Glad it helped. Good luck with your lab.

Love these lockdown educational videos! My wife got me the same Bill Mason print you have behind you there for my 31st birthday. Great demo. Thanks.
Always enjoy these instructional videos..... much appreciated !

the labels on my map are a little different but I'm finally making the connections. great video.

Great use of the banana! Excellent refresher!
Seriously JUST HELPED ME PASS GEOLOGY THANK YOU!!!
Glad it helped.
Nice one. Agree with pinemartyn, very good when using a map.
such a helpful video, im taking geomatics and you explained it in a much easier way then what my professor did lol, Thank you!
UTM stands for Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system btw!
Hi Kev. I'm not seeing where you're getting the 49 from ...because you're pointing at the number 44.
The 44 is the latitude degree in black bold. I was - hopefully - pointing at the smaller print number in blue above that. Sorry for the confusion.
@@TheHappyCamper Gracias!

Sounds like a dumb question but where do you find these types of maps I’ve looked on Google and can’t seem to find any at all
Good question, actually.I order mine through www.worldofmaps.com/ .
Ha as a kid I lived at 670385, 4907385 on that map plus or minus a couple meters and went to college at 680239, 4912608 90-92
Good job sir big help full sir
Glad it helped.
Thanks.
solid
Thanks
The banana tho
Wasn't impressed until the banana tip. ;)
A bit tough to follow. Maybe senility setting in . Can't i just follow my nose and be done with it?
Poor Mercator. Oh well, he's dead and won't know ❕
