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. The tool features several additional map scales, including 1:24,000, which is the most common topographic map scale found within the United States. The 1:100,000 scale now spans 5km grid lines, making it much more usable.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. This tool has larger print numbers on both the compass rose and the coordinate scales. The inner protractor is marked in degrees. Bands of white ink are printed under the compass rose to make reading the compass rose easier and to keep the tool from "disappearing" when you place it on the map. Our coordinate scales offer significant benefits over the standard issue GTA 5-2-12 The tool is printed on 30 mil plastic stock with a protective coating. It is the thickness and stiffness of a credit card. It’s 33% thicker than the standard issue version, so it’s less likely to bent or broken when you need to use it. See photo of the tool. Rounded corners keep it from wearing holes in your pockets. Includes 1:24,000 scale for USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps. Larger 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 scale rulers for maps with wider grid spacing. Larger print type on both the scales and compass rose. Internal cutouts are shown with red in the product images. The map image in the background is so that any white ink is visible. Neither the red outlines nor the map image are printed on the tool. Review: Great map tool - Another outstanding product from map tools. Easy to use and great accuracy!

Easy to use and great accuracy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent piece of equipment for serious trekking. *by I***M on October 2, 2025* Excellent piece of equipment for serious outdoor trekking. Protractor is easy to read. I have used it out in the field as well as honing my skills sitting at my desk reviewing USGS maps of areas I have been and intend to go. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I almost never write a review. *by B***. on April 18, 2023* This is the nicest protractor I have used or seen to date. It’s far more durable than ones I’ve been given in the Marines, and the effort the owners put into providing FREE educational information with the product makes this a must have for all advanced and novice users in land navigation. My favorite feature is that it includes the 1:24,000 map scale, because sometimes you’re in places that only have maps in that scale. I wouldn’t normally be able to accurately plot routes and points when I’ve had to eyeball it and pray with a 1:25,000 protractor that I was issued. The ONLY thing I would want more, is an added ring for plotting in milliradians. Now, that is purely from a military stand point, see that it’s very important to be able to plot in milliradians for fire support planning. All in all, this protractor will permanently live with my land nav kit. ## Frequently Bought Together - MapTools Round Military Coordinate Scale and Protractor - MapTools Improved Military Style MGRS/UTM Coordinate Grid Reader, and Protractor - Military Protractor - Perfectly cut for Land Nav --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1532503-maptools-round-military-coordinate-scale-and-protractor](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1532503-maptools-round-military-coordinate-scale-and-protractor) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
