I'm doing some research in Vietnam using grid references taken off old maps that possibly used WGS60 grids, and it looks like there's a varience of several hundred metres between WGS84 and where the WGS60 grid locations are. Does anybody know of a KML file with WGS60 grids so I can use old grid references to locate places in Google Earth? The MGRS grid looks like its based on WGS84.

Fx. in a training paper the mission is supposed to start at grid NK600553. This is all outside the training area of Fort Hood by aproximately 20 kilometers to the east. Help wanted please...

Is in the settings as I've read or not possible? Thank you for the work it is GREAT!

I am talking about the Worldwide MGRS Gridlines Layer Finding this has been a treasure for me, like winning the lottery. I make large compliations of Google Earth (40km x 40 km) maps for a militay client in Saudi Arabia. Then I adjust them in Adobe Photoshop for color balance and such. And they want MGRS grids on them, but for some reason can't supply the reference info quickly to me. Your tool has cut down so much stress on my projects. Thank you so much Bruce Kendall Google Eath should buy it from you and include it in Google Earth Barry

How was that not spotted? Anyway I have updated the server version so you will probably get the correct version anyway - but the file in the offline is again updated, and the <a href="http://www.nearby.org.uk/offline/mgrs_mod_fix.txt" rel="nofollow">diff</a> OMG – you are right!

The new one does display any thing after the decimal but a zero. The old one would change when zooming in. Thanks...BTS can I get a copy of the old mgrs. kmz file?
