Minimum Coordinate Differences Between SPCS2022 and Overlapping Existing Systems
Last Updated 6/2/2025

  • Differences are computed as SPCS2022 minus existing system horizontal coordinates to 100 m precision using a floor function.
  • Many SPCS2022 zones overlap multiple existing zones, and in those cases the minimum horizontal distance is given.
  • SPCS2022 Policy requires that SPCS2022 coordinates differ by at least 10,000 m horizontally from SPCS 83, SPCS 27, and UTM. Smaller differences with UTM for the GW, GWC, GEC, and GE zones are exceptions to accommodate their design objectives.
  • SPCS 83 values are blank for American Samoa because it does not have an SPCS 83 zone.
SPCS2022 zone code SPCS2022 zone abrv SPCS2022 zone name SPCS83 zones SPCS83 dNorth (m) SPCS83 dEast (m) SPCS83 dHorz (m) SPCS27 zones SPCS27 dNorth (m) SPCS27 dEast (m) SPCS27 dHorz (m) UTM83 zone UTM83 dNorth (m) UTM83 dEast (m) UTM83 dHorz (m)
