The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) uses two grid lettering
schemes, referred to as standard and st 10 MGRS on this unit.
Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you use
standard and your position is off significantly, then try the alternate.
NOTE:
When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions
are shown on all screens, including waypoints.

Map Fix
Map Fix is used with charts or maps. This system asks for a reference
position in latitude/longitude, which you take from a marked location
on the map. It then shows the present position as distance on the map
from that reference point.
For example, if it shows a distance of UP 4.00" and LEFT 0.50", you
then measure up four inches and to the left a half-inch from the refer-
ence point on the map to find your location.
