Israeli Transverse Mercator

Israeli Transverse Mercator (ITM), also known as the New Israel Grid (NIG; Hebrew: רשת ישראל חדשה, רשת ישראל החדשה Reshet Yisra'el Ha-Ḥadasha) is the official projected coordinate system for Israel since 1998. It is based on the transverse Mercator map projection, optimized for Israel. ITM has replaced the old Israeli Cassini Soldner (ICS) coordinate system, also known as the Old Israel Grid (OIG).
