QGIS Plugin: ProjectUTM

Plugin for QGIS to set CRS of the Project to the UTM Zone corresponding to the center of the extent of the active layer.

QGIS Plugin Registry: ProjectUTM
Source code: Repository on Github
License: GPL v2

Use the plugin to set the QGIS project to UTM (example map: data © OpenStreetMap)

Use case

Open a shapefile or GPX track in QGIS and set the CRS project to the correct UTM zone with one click on the UTM Button in the Plugins Toolbar.

Install

Works with QGIS >= 3.18 (because it requires pyproj >= 3.0.0). You can install the plugin with the Plugin Manager in QGIS. Or clone / copy the source code into your QGIS plugin folder.
