## Description

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 MilsThis 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.Also see our new Improved Military Coordinate Scale and Protractor.

Review: Nice tool for map. Have used many times. Kept for long time in my military backpack in not very good condition for it but it still performed very well becouse of it's good quality. Than unfortunately I lost it somewhere
Review: Excellent and useful tool that I will use for navigating.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know if the nsn has changed because i'm i'm trying  to order this but when i ordered  with this nsn i got something  else**
A: Hi, I'm the owner of MapTools and I'm not aware of a National Stock Number (NSN) change. My limited understanding of NSNs is that creation and changes need to be done on the purchasing side, rather than by the vendor. Contact me and I'll be glad to hep however I can to get the NSN problem sorted out.  (It's against Amazon policies to include contact info in answers. But I'm not hard to find.)

**Q: Where does this item ship from?**
A: If you order one shipped by MapTools, I ship from San Carlos, CA 94070.

**Q: Is it laser cut?**
A: It's cut with a die. We give our die cutting folks pretty tight tolerances to work with. So unlike some of these tools we've seen, our triangle are in cut in the correct location. The tool is printed on 30mil clear vinyl and vinyl can't be laser cut as it produces toxic fumes.

**Q: Does this item have tritium in it for night work?**
A: No it does not, it just is laser cut with printed black numbering and tick marks. As well trituim is a radioactive isotope and because of this it needs to be contained to stop you from touching it and ingesting it accidently through direct contact. This is why tritium is usually found inside a closed container like a compass or a watch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by K***C on 19 December 2016*

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.
