topic I am trying to plot two points in MGRS for Myrtle Beach, SC. As far as I can tell I need to set my data frame to NAD 83 UTM Zone 17S.I cannot find Zone 17S in the Data Frame Properties Coordinate System choices. Any suggestions? Help does not help.

UTM Zone 17S would be in the southern hemisphere, which would not be using the NAD 83 Datum.&nbsp; You sure it wouldn't be UTM Zone 17N?&nbsp; </P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Jul 2015 22:04:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/i-am-trying-to-plot-two-points-in-mgrs-for-myrtle/m-p/819768#M1000 IanMurray 2015-07-06T22:04:14Z Re: I am trying to plot two points in MGRS for Myrtle Beach, SC.

AFAIK, ArcGIS only ever uses the hemisphere designation (N or S), so, as Ian says, look for Zone 17 N.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Jul 2015 22:11:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/i-am-trying-to-plot-two-points-in-mgrs-for-myrtle/m-p/819769#M1001 DarrenWiens2 2015-07-06T22:11:09Z
