How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Point 1 Easting and Point 1 Northing from the MGRS grid (6 or 8 digit).
- Enter Point 2 Easting and Northing for the destination grid.
- Set Map Scale (1:X) — typically 1:50,000 for tactical maps.
- Review Ground Distance (m and km) and the calculated azimuth between the two points.
- Use these values for route planning, call-for-fire missions, and MEDEVAC 9-line submissions.
