UTM/MGRS Tools & Lat/Lon Tools

In addition to the tools designed by MapTools, I sell a few other useful products that I've personally used and found to be useful additions to my navigation and mapping tool kit.

Over the last 20 years I've taught hundreds of people both traditional backcountry navigation skills and the latest techniques using GPS receivers and computerized mapping systems. Contact me if you're interested in arranging training for your group.

I am also teaching a wilderness navigation class for the Parks Management Dept. at West Valley College in Saratoga.
