No UTM grid markers. Has the NJ Plane Coordinate Grid at 10,000 foot intervals. All scale references are in feet, miles and nm. NO metric scales at all. There are two scales for lat/lon conversion which you'd probably have to use dividers with.... I also looked at the Magellan GPS Topo-Guide I have. It has transparent grids for 1:24k, 1:25K & 1:63K for the usual land-based topo sheets. Nothing for 1:40K So I guess, after all the foofarraw, that UTM isn't the best choice for seagoing kayakers....... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Apr 08 1999 - 08:23:43 PDT
