Computer program produces Gauss-Kruger (constant meridional scale) transverse Mercator projection, used to construct U.S. Army's universal transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system. Capable of mapping entire Northern Hemisphere of Earth (and, by symmetry of projection, entire Earth) accurately with respect to single principal meridian. Mathematically insensitive to proximity to pole or equator and insensitive to departure of meridian from central meridian. Useful to any mapmaking agency. FORTRAN 77 program developed on IBM PC-series computer equipped with Intel Math Coprocessor.
