FAQ
What UTM zone is Manhattan in?
Manhattan is in UTM zone 18N, with central meridian 75° W. In WGS 84, the city center is at E 587,225 m and N 4,515,230 m.
What is the magnetic declination in Manhattan?
Today the magnetic declination in Manhattan is 12.49° W, changing by +2.4′ per year (WMM2025 model). To get the true azimuth, add the declination to the magnetic azimuth (East positive, West negative).
What is the geoid undulation in Manhattan?
The geoid undulation (EGM2008) in Manhattan is N = −32.56 m. To convert a GNSS height (ellipsoidal, h) to an approximate orthometric height: H = h − N.
