What is MGRS?

 

18SUU: Locating a point within a

 

For convenience, the world is generally

 

100,000-meter square

 

divided into 6° by 8° geographic areas,

 

18SUU80: Locating a point within a

 

10,000-meter square

each of which is given a unique

 

18SUU8401: Locating a point within a

identification, called the Grid Zone

 

1,000-meter square

Designation. These areas are covered by

 

18SUU836014: Locating a point within

a pattern of 100,000-meter squares.

 

a 100-meter square

Each square is identified by two letters

 

 

called tie 100,000-meter square

 

 

identification. This identification is unique

 

 

within the area covered by the Grid Zone

 

 

Designation. Exceptions to this general

 

 

rule have been made in the post to

 

 

preserve the 100,000-meter

 

 

identifications on mapping that already

 

 

exists.

 

 

A reference keyed to a gridded map of

 

 

any scale is made by giving the 100,000-

 

 

meter square identification together with

 

 

the numerical location. Numerical

 

 

references within the 100,000-mater

 

 

square are given to the desired accuracy

 

 

in terms of the easting (E) and northing

 

 

(N) grid coordinates for the point. The

 

 

Grid Zone Designation usually is prefixed

 

 

to the identification when references are

 

 

made in more than one grid zone

 

 

designation area.
