How can I display the maps in Transverse Mercator Projection?
BC UTM Zone Projected maps are located in the Main Maps page. These maps display BC, projected for each of the five UTM zones in the province. Select the appropriate Zone. UTM zone projections are useful viewing smaller areas at medium to large scales, and for obtaining UTM coordinates. The UTM Zone maps also link to the other zone maps through the right-click-popup menu. The UTM Zone maps (#39-43) area also available in the Complete Table of Maps. To switch from the standard Albers projection to Transverse Mercator projection in the the BCGS Geoscience Map, turn on the “TM Projection” layer under the File Download Layers group at the top of the legend. Double-click the appropriate UTM Zone to load the map in Transverse Mercator Projection. Once in the map, to get UTM coordinate readouts from the cursor position set your Preferences to Map Coordinates (see Section 20). Caution must be exercise in not panning outside of a zone or invalid displays will result. To change zones right-click
