Improved Military UTM/MGRS Reader & Protractor "Super GTA"

Improved Military UTM/MGRS Reader & Protractor "Super GTA" Review



Improved Military UTM/MGRS Reader & Protractor "Super GTA" Feature

  • Scales: 1:24,000 x 1km; 1:25,000 x 1km/1:250,000 x 10km; 1:50,000 x 2km/1:500,000 x 20km; 1:10,000 x 500m/1:100,000 x 5km
  • Compass Rose in both Degrees and Mils (Size 4.5" x 4.5")
  • The tool is printed on 30 mil plastic stock with a protective coating
  • Rounded corners keep it from wearing holes in your pockets.
  • Includes 1:24,000 scale for USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps.
This tool is an improved version of the Graphic Training Aid 5-2-12 Coordinate Scale and Protractor used by United States and NATO military forces around the world. 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 topographic map scale found within the United States. The 1:100,000 scale now spans 5km grid lines, making it much more usable. Plus, the overall dimensions of the tool have been reduced so that it is the size of a music CD, easially fitting into a pocket or any slot where you could store a CD. The inner protractor is marked in degrees and the outer protractor is in mils.
