Lat+Lon..vs UTM We use UTM in our Search And Rescue operations. It is more accurate for pinpointing specific targets than Lat/Lon is.....especially when locating subjects (people).

UTM, or Universal Transverse Mercator, has been in wide use by the military for many years. Of late, it has been largely supplanted by the Military Grid Reference System, which retains the same grid system, but uses naming conventions that are much more user friendly. NATO uses both, but MGRS is far more prevalent, and will eventually completely replace UTM.

UTM was invented by the military and has been adopted by ground search teams worldwide, based on the ability to go to a 1M square. Air and Sea SAR still use LAT LONG due to the larger scale operations and areas. I specifically am in the states.

UTM,
?Universal Transverse Mercator, which divides the entire earth into a grid. However, at least in parts of the United States, many SAR groups are shifting to using the United States National Grid (USNG) system, which is what the Federal Emergency Management Agency uses.
