Common mistakes with UCS-2000 / Ukraine TM zone 11

  • Easting and northing swapped. In UCS-2000 / Ukraine TM zone 11 the middle of the grid is near easting 300,114.55 and northing 5,294,073.88. If your easting column holds numbers like 5,294,073.88, the columns are the wrong way round and every point lands far away: swap them before converting.
  • Feet entered as metres. UCS-2000 / Ukraine TM zone 11 is in metres. Coordinates copied from a drawing in feet must be converted first, or every point moves outwards from the grid's origin.
  • Forgetting the datum. UCS-2000 / Ukraine TM zone 11 is not on WGS 84: published 3-parameter shift (typically a few metres). Picking a WGS 84 grid with the same projection instead leaves the points off by that amount.
  • Points outside the grid's area. UCS-2000 / Ukraine TM zone 11 is meant for Ukraine - between 31°30'E and 34°30'E, onshore and offshore. Points well outside that area convert with growing error; the converter flags them so you can choose the right grid.
  • A local site grid. If every point is off by the same distance and direction, the drawing may be on a local site grid. Calibrate on three or more known control points instead.
