RE: [Paddlewise] More Re: UTM

I believe John from Map Tools may be persuaded to make up a 1:40,000 guide
for marine charts but that still leaves the problem of  accurately placing a
1000 meter grid on the maps. It may be feasible to take and convert the
lat/lon to UTM and use that as the starting point.

		Joe, I have made up a trans grid for 1:40000 which also
includes a
		compass rosette- found it easy to plot bearing as well as
		distance(subdivided a section to 1/10 nautical mile).  It
was based and
		verified on the egg harbor/ great bay charts.  If you (or
anybody else)

happy to send
		it.  Alas, I did it in a cad program to have strict
dimensional control
		and would probably go through change if I translated it to
bitmap for
		electronic transfer.
		I print it on laser mylar.
		I had thought that the UTM coordinate system were for areas
where
		nautical charts were not available and one must rely on a
terra based
		map.
