Or perhaps use both. UTM for such descriptions and Lat/Lng for mapping
using on-line mapping services, like:

mapping services may also have an inaccuracy of a few feet in
places like Europe and the USA (and considerably greater inaccuracies in
countries which are not accurately surveyed) and the error varies each
time there's a new release of the imagery, so you'll still need a
description.
