[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 969233, member: 17844"] That sounds right to me , quoting the XC when using USNG just takes the place of quoting the actual full numbers . It's the same reference . Why map makers want to reinvent the wheel amazes me . My advice is use NAD83 datum UTM / UPS setting and the full reference 12 S 0682400 over 3735000 . that way it's the same system all over the World and you can navigate with that grid system anyplace on the planet. The UPS stand for Universal Polar Sterographic which is a special grid for polar regions . The USNG and MGRS systems are supposed to be quicker and to reduce reference mistakes , like referencing the wrong grid square . [/QUOTE]
