Overlay 100km, 10km and 1km UTM gridlines onto Google Earth. The higher resolution gridlines automatically become visible as you zoom in. There is a small delay each time you change the view as the updated grid loads.

Thank you so much, this is just what I have been looking for!
This is extremely useful as it clearly shows Google Earth’s UTM Grid is off by approximately 230m from NAD27.
Sorry, meant to add that NAD27 is what most USGS maps use.
Thank you very much, i’m a Chilean Forestry Engineer and for me this tool is
a extremely useful.
Thanks a lot
@David F
David – I too was troubled because I was finding point were off by values 30 – 180m
I think Goggle Earth uses NAD84.
Wow! Thank you so much!
I had almost lost hope in finding this but I thought I’d check again and boom…
After trying to create my own UTM-grid with the GE-Path plug-in (see link below), I was able to create an isometric grid with 1km spacing, however the corners of the grid didn’t line up with the exact UTM coordinates I had entered (error = 50-200m). GE-Path is a great tool for finding perimeter and area, and for creating grids that don’t require high precision coordinates, but don’t use it for UTM grids…especially with this Kml-file!
Thank you so much; you just saved me an immeasurable amount of time and stress. You rock!

Do you have UTM coordinate grid with grid distance 250m, for Czech Republic?
Thank
Good stuff. Thanks!
This is the overlay I searched the last 2 hours!
Thank you very much!
thnk u very much … i want to customize the gird? hw to do ?
Ok guys I downloaded the file and when i click it it opens google earth for me but I can’t see the grid lines? any help guys how to activate it or turn it on in the program would be nice
ok i got it to work now…but is there anyway to get 100m grid lines happening?
@John: I am having the same problem as you and cannot get UTM gridlines to display. Unlike you, I have not found a solution: I try opening the KML file in Google Earth, but nothing happens, no matter how much I zoom in and out. How did you fix this?
