MapTools Improved Military Style MGRS/UTM Coordinate Grid Reader, and Protractor

It was a pleasant surprise to see this provided with information on how to use it for people who never used it. It is durable for my hiking kit and travels well in my map case.

Excelente calidad e material e impresión.

I needed a protector to read USGS 1/24,000 maps. There were cheaper versions available and I had no experience with Maptools.com but I have extensive experience with paper thin plastic protractors that are cut poorly/inaccurate, bend, crack, break and scratch easily. The reviews said this company does not do cheap. The reviews were correct. Great protractor that lets me read not only 1/24,000 but 4 more scales and you get a protractor that reads degrees and mils. If that's all you got this would be a great deal but I wouldn't feel compelled to write a review. You also get a host of other material that explains how to use the protractor on various types of maps, access to a website with tutorials and a personalized declination reference card (printed on waterproof paper) based on your mailing address. All this is written and presented in a positive manner that makes you feel like these people take pride in their product and want you to enjoy the map/exploring experience with them. Highly recommend and will purchase from again without hesitation.

Bought this for my son who was doing map reading and he had no trouble navigating with this. It was used during military exercises. Would recommend.

Would have ordered direct but saw it was on here and added to another order to get free shipping, package arrived and it's a thick manila envelope with not only the protractor but also a whole bunch of well made and useful navigational educational materials for people who may have had this recommended and just be getting started. It's great because you can use the additional resources as a place to fill in gaps in your own knowledge or check the advice given by the person who recommended the product who may have learned how to use it under less than ideal conditions or simply eaten too many crayons for breakfast and be misremembering some of their nav training. Got way more value than I expected, super happy.
