Military Style UTM/MGRS Tool Scales: 1:25,000 x 1km/1:250,000 x 10km 1:50,000 x 1km 1:100,000 x 1km Compass Rose in both Degrees and Mils

This tool is equivalent to the Graphic Training Aid 5-2-12 Coordinate Scale and Protractor used by United States and NATO military forces around the world. The scale has three die cut triangles for access to mark the map being measured. The inner protractor is marked in degrees and the outer protractor is in mils. (Size 5" x 5")

Our coordinate scales offer significant benefits over the standard issue GTA 5-2-12.

The tool is printed on 30 mil plastic stock with a protective coating. This makes it about the thickness and stiffness of a credit card. It's 33% thicker than the standard military issue version, so it's less likely to bent or broken when you need to use it. See the photo of the tool bent almost in half with no issues. It is not easy to break or crease the tools, but it is possible. Even then the tool can usually still be used for navigation. Even just taken out of a -20°F freezer, the tool is still flexible.

Rounded corners keep it from wearing holes in your pockets.
