[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 963456, member: 37223"] I am so confused right now. I went to MyTopo and ordered a map instead of buying four maps since I usually hunt where two or more topo maps come together. Here is what the legend on the bottom of the map says. In black it says Universal Transverse Mecator (UTM) projection zone 12. The line under that also in black says North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Under that in blue it says 1000 meter UTM / USNG / MGRS. The next line in blue says Grid Zone Designation: 12S . The final line in blue says 100,000-m Squares XC Using the USNG with the 12S and XC put in I only have to enter the last five numbers. If I change the GPS to UTM UPS for that grave site it changes to 12 S 0682400 over 3735000. The MGRS and USNG have the same location designation. Either way I get to the same place it just depends on what information I have to put in. [/QUOTE]
