It's the size of a music CD, so it tucks away in more storage spaces.ĭavid Canterbury, with the Pathfinder School, has a good video on how to make a Sun Compass, using our Round GTA tool.

Larger print type on both the scales and compass rose.

Larger 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 scale rulers for maps with wider grid spacing.

Includes 1:24,000 scale for USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps.

Rounded corners keep it from wearing holes in your pockets.

It’s 33% thicker than the standard military issue version, so it’s less likely to bent or broken when you need to use it. This makes it about the thickness and stiffness of a credit card.

The tool is printed on plastic stock with a protective coating.

Our coordinate scales offer significant benefits over the standard issue GTA 5-2-12: This makes reading the compass rose easier and also keeps the tool from 'disappearing' when you place it on the map. The inner protractor is marked in degrees.īands of white ink are printed under the compass rose. This tool has larger print numbers on both the compass rose and the coordinate scales. Plus, the overall dimensions of the tool have been reduced so that it is the size of a music CD, easily fitting into a pocket or any slot where you could store a CD. The 1:100,000 scale now spans 5km grid lines, making it much more usable. The tool features several additional map scales, including 1:24,000, which is the most common topographic map scale found within the United States. By using a slot on one side of the tool for access to the map, the tool can be more compact than the traditional GTA tool.

This tool is an improved version of the Graphic Training Aid 5-2-12 Coordinate Scale and Protractor used by United States and NATO military forces around the world. Neither the red lines, colored background, nor map image are printed on the actual tool.

Note: Product edges and interior cutouts are shown with a thin red line.
