Grid Style Tools
It is easy and quick to learn how to use a grid style tool, which is also perfect for beginners. The grid lines printed on protractor divides it into a 10 by 10 grid, numbers shows 0 to 9 from north to south and from east to west. CYA MP-7 protractor is an easy to use grid tool that divides a 1 kilometer grid square into 100 meter squares. Align the tool on the map grid and read off the easting and northing values. The tool also has a compass rose protractor along the outside edge. The weak point of using this grid style protractor is we are unable to directly mark on the map before moving the protractor, and not so easy to locate a point with more precision.
Slot Style Tools
Why is the protractor east west numbered backwards?
This is a frequently asked question when people using the MP-8 protractor, it is a little bit difficult to understand but actually this slot style tool is still my favorite protractor. I can easily access the protractor’s slot to mark on the map and easy to keep parallel to the grid lines. It help me to be as accuracy as it could reach during measuring process. For the question – the tool is used by sliding it across the east-west direction of the grid and reading the easting value at the west edge of the grid. In this aspect, it is similar to a corner roamer. The northing is read through the vertical slot, with values increasing as you move to the north.
UTM – Universal Transverse Mercator
MP-9 ruler enables you to plot UTM coordinates to a 10 meter accuracy within a 1 kilometer grid square. The tool includes 2 distance rulers; one mile divided into 0.01 mile increments, and 3700 feet divided into 100 foot increments. The small size of this tool will allow you to keep it handy in your pocket or wallet. MP-10 is a pocket sized set of 3 UTM corner rulers for 1:24,000, 1:25,000, and 1:50,000 scale maps. The 1:24,000 and 1:25,000 corners allow you to divide a 1km map grid to a 10m precision. The 1:50,000 corner allows you to divide a 1km map grid to a 20m precision. The tool has a hole at the corner of each scale to allow for placing a mark on the map. There is also a hole in the center that allows a string to extend the compass rose.
Ruler Style Tools
CYA military scale rulers are designed for plotting latitude & longitude coordinates. Numbers printed in meters or kilometers that can be used to measure UTM, MGRS, and USNG coordinates as well. All these scale rulers are made by lexan resin plastic, this material will never melt or warp in high temperature environment. Perfect for long time military outdoor hiking and daily training.
