As far as I know, the letters in UTM zones have been dropped because
they were just used
to make horizontal cuts for the (paper) maps, not really for projecting,
thus your zone is 35South, the "S" refers to South, not to the zone S
in the older nomenclature.

Hi,
Some feedback:
It works brilliantly now but the path was strewn with thorns. One more
problem of my own making was that the program that I used to convert my UTM
UPS format into dd mm ss.ss to do the Georeferencing uses north and south
and not + and - so I had +17 instead of -17 which also did
Sigh,
Thank you for all the replies. It is bloody confusing and a barrier of entry
to using GIS programs I think. I intent to write up my experience when I am
done so hopefully I can contribute in some way for the next person going
through this pain. It might be useful if the dialogue boxes in QGIS
I beg to differ!
35S is indeed zone 35, suothern hemishpere part. I trust places like

Yeah, it's a confusing nomenclature. There is often a letter following the
zone number to specify which part of the zone you're in... but just as often
you see a N or S referring to the hemisphere. In the QGIS list of SRIDs, it
takes the latter convention. Have a look at the list of SRIDs in the
Hi, UTM zones are N and S, north and south, regardless of what your (or
mine) says. My Garmin says that south Portugal is 29S but the truth is 29N

Hi John,
Thank you for the reply.
Unless I am mistaken 35S is very much in the northern hemisphere. Both

I think you should be able to use EPSG:32735 for zone 35 south. Search for
35S in the Project Properties dialogue, make sure to set the drop down for
"Search for" to "Name".
Cheers

Hi
It seems QGIS is a bit partial to the northern hemisphere. Is there an
available source for UTM Zones in the northern hemisphere. I am looking for
UTM 35K. I am currently trying to enter a custom grid but would much prefer
to use and existing and reliable source of grid information. Appologies i
