Following the update in July for hiding the 100km numbers from the gridline labels, it seems the same fix broke the sub KM lines, thanks to a comment on the original post for letting me know.

Anyway, the online hosted version has been updated (and checked at all scales as best I can!), and the same file pushed into the downloadable zip for the offline version, so can download the latest code from the file. And just for completeness the diff.

Ever since releasing the MGRS layer for Google Earth, I’ve been asked a number of times (well about 10) about tweaking the numbers on the gridlines, to be more ‘MGRS like’. To be honest havent had a clue what this means, but a recent email made me twig whats going on.

Basically the numbers included the hundreds of KM, but in fact that number is already represented in the Grid Letters so doesnt make sence to include again (it was there because the layer was an almost direct port of the UTM code, which of course needs it).

So the server hosted version has been updated, and also the file inside the zip for the offline version (which are in fact identical code!), and if really interested heres the diff.

Enjoy!
