LAND MEASURE COMPASS w/ARM

POCKET SIZED UTM GRID PLOTTER

 

 

 

The Pocket Sized UTM Grid Plotter measures only 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" and are truly "pocket sized"!  The Grid Plotter is used to plot UTM or MGRS coordinates on a 1:24,000 scale map.  The tool divides a 1 kilometer grid square into 100 meter squares.  Align the tool on the map grid and read off the easting and northing values.  This is one of my favorite tools as it is scaled for USGS maps.

The Pocket Sized UTM Corner Rulers measure only 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" and are truly "pocket sized"!  The Corner Rulers are a set of 3 UTM/MGRS "roamers" for 1:24,000, 1:25,000, and 1:50,000 scale maps.  The 1:24k and 1:25k corners allow you to divide a 1 kilometer map grid with 10m precision.  The 1:5k corner provides 20m precision.

GRID READER & PROTRACTOR - (NEW STYLE)

 

 

This tool is an improved version of the Graphic Training Aid 5-2-12 Coordinate Scale and Protractor, show above.  By using a slot on one side of the tool for access to the map, the tool can be more compact than the traditional GTA tool.  The tool features several additional map scales, including 1:24,000, which is the most common topographical map scale found within the United States, including the 7.5 minute USGS maps.  The 1:100,000 scale now spans 5km grid lines, making it much more usable.  Plus the overall dimensions have been reduced so that it is the size of a music CD, easily fitting into a pocket or any slot where you could store a CD.  The tool is printed on 30 mil plastic 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 be bent or broken when you need it.  It has rounded corners which keep it from wearing holes in your pockets.  Scales: 1:24,000 x 1km, 1:25,000 x 1km/1:250,000 x 10km, 1:50,000 x 2 km/1:500,000 x 20km, 1:10,000 x 500m/1:100,000 x 5km.  Compass Rose in both Degrees and Mils.  Measures 4.5" x 4.5".
