Grid Type Graticules (Lat/Lon) UTM Grid State Plane (SPCS) Filter / Zone

Click on any grid line or zone on the map to inspect it.
Graticules

Spherical lat/lon grid. Degrees (°). Best for global navigation and GPS.

Lines every 1°–30° • Prime Meridian = 0° • Equator = 0°

UTM

60 zones × 6° wide. Metric. Best for regional mapping and science.

Zone 1 starts at 180°W • Rows A–Z (excl. I, O) • Each cell ~668 km tall

State Plane

High-precision US local grid. US Survey Feet. Best for surveys and engineering.

Lambert Conformal Conic • False Easting ensures positive coordinates

Global Grid Viewer

All Things Spatial LLC

An interactive tool for exploring and comparing global coordinate reference systems — Graticules, UTM, and State Plane — in both 2D and 3D.

HOW TO USE

1
Select System

Use the Grid Type dropdown in the Inspector panel to switch between Graticules, UTM, and State Plane.

2
Filter & Zoom

Use the Filter/Zone dropdown to filter by interval or jump to a specific zone.

3
Inspect Data

Click on the map on any grid line or zone to see its technical details.

4
3D Globe

Click the 3D button bottom-left to toggle between flat map and globe view.

COORDINATE SYSTEMS

A spherical grid measuring angles from the Earth's center. Latitude runs north-south (±90°), longitude runs east-west (±180°).

GPS Navigation Global Maps Unit: Degrees (°)

Divides the world into 60 zones each 6° wide. Each zone is projected flat to minimize distortion. Uses meters as the unit of measurement.

Regional Mapping Military Unit: Meters

Designed for US surveyors. Each state has one or more zones using Lambert Conformal Conic or Transverse Mercator projection. Uses false easting to ensure positive coordinates.

Land Surveys Engineering Unit: US Survey Feet
