Review on UTM/MGRS Coordinate Scale for Military-Grade MapTools by James Lighting

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great navigation aid

Excellent product - 5 stars. It's a simple item that delivers what it promises. It has the two map scales I use most (1:25,000 and 1:50,000), the protractor function works perfectly, and it's fairly thick but flexible plastic. The markers appear to be laminated between the plastic layers, so we'll see how they hold up, whether the plastic layers peel over time and in the field, or whatever - I don't expect any issues, but I'll update as needed. Shipping was a little slow but it was an international sale and the package arrived wet so I'm guessing the post misdelivered it or temporarily lost it - not a bad thought on Map Tools. A simple tool that I will modify by adding a melted hole at the dead center of the protractor with a strong nylon thread tied in it for more accurate angle/bearing readings, as in many British Commonwealth "Romers" military editions. Good product.

Pros
  • For use with UTM, MGRS, USNG or other metric coordinate systems.
Cons
  • Minor issues
