Warning : do not use these grids for precise topography!

Grids are available as lines or polygons. Lines are faster to display and easier to style. Polygons are adapted to perform spatial joins but are slower to draw.

Clic on a zone to get a list of available grids. All grids are provided as Geopackage files. Each geopackage contains 1, 5, 10 and 100km grids. 5 km grids are not a MGRS standard but are well suited for some regional scales.

Grids are also available in two datums : WGS84 (EPSG:4326) and ED50 (EPSG:4230). The most commonly used is the WGS84 version but if you want to be compatible with older european maps, you have to choose the ED50 version. A wrong choice can lead to a loss of more then 90m along the x axis and more than 200m along the y axis!

You can find other MGRS grids on https://earth-info.nga.mil (follow Coordinates Systems / Data - Warning : all grids of this source are computed with the WGS84 datum and precision is a little be less accurate).
