can the coord system in KDU be changed?

[skypickle]

mine always defaults to LAT/LONG.

 

How to change it to MGRS?

[Tholozor]

Even though it says LAT/LONG you can still punch in the MGRS.

It says UTM LAT/LONG, which means it will accept either. Although technically UTM isn't MGRS.

11ABB22223333 is the required KU format for MGRS.

N112233E0112233 is required KU format for Lat/Long (in the format entered, this would be the actual coordinates N 11* 22.33' E 011* 22.33' is the coordinates entered)

I prefer MGRS for quick orientation on F10 map, but did you omit Northing 0 on purpose or is it mistake?

We will probably do pink team hunts with Gazelle and Apache, so need to dabble more into Lat/Long usage

What Northing 0? Northings go from 0-90, Eastings from 0-180. Which is why you see a leading zero on the easting (because its a 3 digit value)

TBH, totally did not think of that.
