Improvements to the
Improved Military Style UTM/MGRS Tool
We have added a band of white ink the two compass roses. This makes reading the compass roseeasier and also keeps the tool from "disappearing" when you place it on the map.

Improvements to the UTM Grid Overlays for 1:24,000, 1:25,000 and 1:50,000
We have added a band of white ink around the edge of the 1:24,000, 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scale grid overlays. This makes reading the compass rose and grid numbers easier and also keeps the tool from "disappearing" when you place it on the map. In the center of each 100m square, on the 1:24,000 and 1:25,000 scale tools, we've added a small dot, which makes it easy to read the coordinate with a 50m precision. One last thing, we also added a lanyard hole in the upper left corner.
