Using a map with a 1000m grid, the first two digits are come from the large type on the label for the grid line to the west of the position. Measurement of East-West position, within the 100,000 meter square, in meters. The top set of numbers, 06832, represent a It identifies a unique 100,000m square within the Grid Zone. Necessary to make the coordinates unique over the entire globe. The 10S is the Grid Zone Designation you are in. The two grid lines are 1000 meters apart. , reads "seven hundred and six thousand meters East." The label, Look along the bottom edge of the map at the labels for the vertical grid lines.

The vertical grid lines determine East-West position and the horizontal grid lines determine North-South Larger type numbers are replaced by the 100,000m Square ID. When using USNG or MGRS the small type numbers to the left of the The grid is labeled with UTM coordinate values.īut the same grid is used for both USNG and MGRS positions. The map has grid lines spaced every kilometer or 1000 meters. Set to display position in US National Grid format, would report a location of: Let's look at where the various parts of the USNG position come from on the map. The World Geodetic System 1984 is a geodetic reference system as a uniform basis for position information on earth and in near-earth space.Standing at the center of the marker shown on the map below, a GPS unit The coordinate labels are displayed on the corner of the visible map extent: WGS84 This includes the reference points of military symbols and tactical graphics.Ī coordinate grid is displayed as part of the map layer. The selected system is applied to all coordinates within The coordinate grid is set in the Options menu of the web application.

The web application supports the following coordinate systems: MGRS and UTM are the most used coordinate system in the context of military mission planning. The coordinate system builds the base for geo referencing on a military map.
