For our American friends and anyone planning to navigate in the States.

A great explanation to the UTM Grid.

Thanks again Adi for providing such great links.

If you are travelling to the USA then TopoPointUSA is such a cost effective maping to use on your satnav. I created detailed instructions how to use this program, not all of which were published in the book, so I will put them all into a pdf and load up on to the resource page.
