Subject: map coordinates


hey all,

anyone know of a fishing/lake map maker who marks their maps using MGRS instead of UTM?
(MGRS is a decimal based system vs UTM using degrees and minutes)

the back-country adventure world is finally "getting it" and switching over to MGRS on their maps, why hasn't the fishing world figured out to use this simpler (it's intuitive) and more precise method??? the overlay of the MGRS grid on the map makes spot location easy and quick instead of having to guestimate like is currently necessary.
