Gridmark

Offline land and grid navigation

Navigate by grid, with or without a signal.

Gridmark is for people who think in MGRS, USNG or UTM: land navigation students and instructors, search teams, foresters, field crews, hunters and hikers.

Plan at your desk

  • Enter points as MGRS, USNG, UTM or latitude and longitude, and copy any grid in the format you need.
  • Build routes with legs, distances and azimuths, with magnetic or grid north and the declination shown.
  • Draw lines and areas, group points into trips and mark them with clear symbols, including a supported set of military unit symbols.
