The usage of  Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
in Sweden

The UTM system has been used in Sweden in different projects where exchange of data with other countries has taken place. E.g. determination of boundaries to neighbouring countries at land and at sea.

In addition the UTM-grid has been drawn (in blue color) on the official maps.

In these contexts the UTM has earlier been related to the European Datum 1950 (ED 50), but now it is usually connected to SWEREF 99/93 (WGS 84, EUREF 89).

If UTM will be connected to SWEREF 99 in a more official way, and be used for regular mapping has yet not been decided.

Sweden lies within the UTM-zones 32 - 35
