MGRS

By kemoschwabbie - Posted on 25 January 2006

Being able to use this application in a military field environment would be useful. The military mainly uses the MGRS (military grid reference system) for their mapping coordinates. Normally this is based on the WGS84 Datum set. Is there any way this feature could be incorporated into the product?

I too would like to see this feature added both for my military reserve profession and my civilian profession as a firefighter on a search and rescue team

Sounds like this is a popular feature, so I'm learning more about it.

We can already convert to UTM, though we don't currently display it.

It sounds like there would be another step to convert it to an alphanumeric MGRS coordinate.

I know there are utilities that allow you to convert from UTM to MGRS.

It would be great to see this feature added.
