{"product_id":"maptools-improved-military-style-utm-mgrs-coordinate-scale-and-protractor","title":"MapTools Improved Military Style UTM\/MGRS Coordinate Scale and Protractor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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, easily fitting into a pocket or any slot where you could store a CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner protractor is marked in degrees and the outer protractor is in mils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBands of white ink are printed under the two compass roses. This makes reading the compass rose easier and also keeps the tool from \"disappearing\" when you place it on the map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coordinate scale offers significant benefits over the standard issue GTA 5-2-12:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool is printed on plastic stock about the thickness and stiffness of a credit card, with a protective coating.
