If finding, plotting and checking directions is something you find yourself doing quite often, this is the protractor for you, due to it’s shape. Poked in the middle is a small hole that allows you to place a thin piece of cord, which helps when measuring directions with with protractor. Along the center is a distance scale, that is scaled for use on 1:25,000 & 1:50,000 Scale Maps. A big fancy word for finding and adjusting for the distance between Grid & Magnetic North. At a corner is also a GM Conversion Chart to aid in Declination. Within the protractor is also a North & South compass for aiding in orienting your scale with your map. The outer edge of the protractor has 2 scales for measuring mils (outer) and degrees (inner). Protractors feature 3 cut out windows for measuring on 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 scale maps. To learn more please see the GeoJPG website.įor more information about GISsurfer, please visit the GISsurfer homepage.įor a short description of my other projects see the MappingSupport project page.This is a Map Protractor that is used in the US Military, that features square cut outs for when measuring grid squares and the Protractor itself is circular in shape. You can then use the GeoJPG web app (I am the developer) to install the JPGs on your phone or tablet and view those JPGs as an *offline* map with geolocation and the MGRS grid turned on. I will show you where you can put those JPGs online at no cost. Those screenshots can show any public GIS data. You can now use GISsurfer to take a series of screenshots that exactly adjoin. New for 2022 - Offline maps that display MGRS. To get started, click the basemap button (next to the 'Menu' button) then under the 'Overlay' heading, click "Add GIS overlays". no login required) ArcGIS server along with an MGRS grid on top of that data. While the map is open you can now display data from *any* public-facing (i.e. Use the Menu button to toggle the MGRS coordinates grid on/off.
Note that different basemaps let you zoom in different amounts. If you know MGRS then you already know USNG.Īs you zoom in the grid will become more detailed. MGRS and USNG are the same except MGRS is often written without spaces. The JPG/PNG files can show almost any data that GISsurfer can display. The videos that I am still working on will walk you though that process.
The short story is that feature will let you make georeferenced JPG and PNG files which you can import into ATAK as part of a KMZ file. For links to those videos, open the GISsurfer homepage ( ), click the green 'Menu' button and go to the Help page.ĭo you use ATAK? GISsurfer has a feature called 'screenshot mode'. New for 2023: There are now some tutorial videos to help you learn about GISsurfer. For a description of all the features of GISsurfer that support MGRS coordinates (search, geolocation, etc) and links to USNG/MGRS videos plus other educational material, please download the USNG and MGRS Coordinates pdf file. The map is displayed by GISsurfer which is a general purpose web map based on the Leaflet map API (Application Program Interface). This map with a MGRS grid will work in most browsers on most devices including cell phones. Anyone can use the following 'live' GISsurfer map to help learn about Military Grid Reference Sysytem (MGRS) coordinates.
