[QUOTE="Nalgi, post: 959793, member: 27630"] Absolutely! Ive been teaching orienteering for about 20 years. UTM is way easier to teach and understand! Ques. How far is a minute? No matter what answer you give it will be confusing as a minute at the equator is longer than a minute at the poles. With UTM the earth is flattened to a 1000 meter grid. I can teach 1000 meter grid to kids and the importance of correct declination. Not so much with Lat/Lon [/QUOTE]
