"Pocket Sized" UTM Grid Overlays

"Pocket Sized" UTM Grid Overlays
Fast and easy UTM plotting
These easy to use grid tools divide a 1 kilometer grid square into 100 meter squares. Align the tool on the map grid and read off the easting and northing values. The 1:50,000 scale tool is sized for a 2km grid spacing. The tools also have a compass rose along their outside edge. This makes plotting or measuring a bearing a snap. The small size of these tools will allow you to keep them handy in your pocket.

New for 2009
We have added a band of white ink around the edge of the 1:24,000, 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scale grid overlays. This makes reading the compass rose and grid numbers easier and also keeps the tool from "disappearing"when you place it on the map. In the center of each 100m square, on the 1:24,000 and 1:25,000 scale tools, we've added a small dot, which makes it easy to read the coordinate with a 50m precision. One last thing, we also added a lanyard hole in the upper left corner.

Printed on 30 mil plastic stock the tools are about the thickness of a credit card.
The ink is coated to protect it from abrasion.
Size 2.75” x 2.75”(7cm X 7cm).

The 1:24,000 Scale "Pocket Sized" UTM Grid Overlay is also available with the instruction booklet " Using your GPS with the UTM Coordinate System"
