Military Style UTM/MGRS Tool Scales: 1:25,000 x 1km/1:250,000 x 10km 1:50,000 x 1km 1:100,000 x 1km Compass Rose in both Degrees and Mils
This tool is equivalent to the Graphic Training Aid 5-2-12 Coordinate Scale and Protractor used by United States and NATO military forces around the world. The scale has three die cut triangles for access to mark the map being measured. The inner protractor is marked in degrees and the outer protractor is in mils. (Size 5" x 5")
Our coordinate scales offer significant benefits over the standard issue GTA 5-2-12.
The tool is printed on 30 mil plastic stock with a protective coating. This makes it about the thickness and stiffness of a credit card. It's 33% thicker than the standard military issue version, so it's less likely to bent or broken when you need to use it. See the photo of the tool bent almost in half with no issues. It is not easy to break or crease the tools, but it is possible. Even then the tool can usually still be used for navigation. Even just taken out of a -20°F freezer, the tool is still flexible.
Rounded corners keep it from wearing holes in your pockets.

Item is as described, fast shipping and price was reasonable. The item is thinner than I expected. No other issues.

The information packet that came with the map reading tool was fantastic. Now I have something to read to go by. The product itself is of good materials and workmanship. Well worth the price tag.

Marginal quality, though still usable. I guess the 1:50 scale multipliers are there because this is a "training unit", and as such, it does the job. Given how thick this thing is, you won't be talking accuracy anyways, but it could be used as a teaching tool, for sureAlso, price?? If you check their website, these same things go for like quarter of what they sell them for on Amazon, which is not cutting it even as a shipping offset

I've used protractors for Land Nav for going on 30 years. This is the one to order, no trimming needed ( if you haver done you'll know what I mean) and thick so it will last. It came with some good info for those who are unfamiliar or out of practice. As an added bonus they sent a card with the declination for my zip code. I use my compass all over but this was a nice touch.

Great seller and great product! Arrived earlier than expected, which is always great. The tool itself is pretty sturdy plastic and does what it's supposed to. What's really excellent is the detailed instructions that came with it, almost everything you need to know about grid coordinates for the military grid reference system or the universal transverse mercator system along with two practice quizzes! Even more, the seller included a waterproof guide to the magnetic declination specific to my area! This company really does an amazing job and provides more than expected. Great value.

This mapping protractor is well made, right priced, and delivered by a company that consistently provides value. This coordinate scale also comes complete with instructions for use. These instructions are perfect for those that do not know how to use the tool, perfect for those that just need to re-familiarize themselves with the tool, and perfect for the experts to use as a reference aid when building instructional materials to teach others how to use the tool.

Other than the price...triple what I paid at REI in the US (where I left it)...this is THE grid reader to have. Note that USGS topo maps use 1:24000 so this cannot be used with them.
