About

Special thanks for this project goes out to Måns Beckman's of Spatial Illusions MilSymbol Generator and Mike D's USNG-Gmap-V3. Without their open source contributions this project would have taken much longer.

MGRS Mapper is a replacement for the popular website Hawg View, but with added functionality. Users can search and select from hundreds of military map symbols for the MIL-STD 2525C standard. Once your unit is selected you can add more information to it, such as unit size, affiliation (friendly, enemy, templated/suspected, etc). When you have all the data you need for your unit you can drag and drop it onto Google Maps for operations planning. Click on the unit to display more information about it or delete it if you choose. Toggle the MGRS overlay at the top of the sidebar to create a highly detailed concept of operations.

Installing

git clone https://github.com/pistell/MGRS-Mapper.git
