My limited understanding of NSNs is that creation and changes need to be done on the purchasing side, rather than by the vendor. Contact me and I'll be glad to hep however I can to get the NSN problem sorted out. (It's against Amazon policies to include contact info in answers. But I'm not hard to find.) **Q: Where does this item ship from?** A: If you order one shipped by MapTools, I ship from San Carlos, CA 94070. **Q: Is it laser cut?** A: It's cut with a die. We give our die cutting folks pretty tight tolerances to work with. So unlike some of these tools we've seen, our triangle are in cut in the correct location. The tool is printed on 30mil clear vinyl and vinyl can't be laser cut as it produces toxic fumes. **Q: Does this item have tritium in it for night work?** A: No it does not, it just is laser cut with printed black numbering and tick marks. As well trituim is a radioactive isotope and because of this it needs to be contained to stop you from touching it and ingesting it accidently through direct contact. This is why tritium is usually found inside a closed container like a compass or a watch. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As described. *by A***R on January 11, 2026* Serves the purpose, should have chosen one with reverse bearing on the degree scale. But no issues, solid choice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice *by D***T on September 20, 2025* Nice tool for map. Have used many times. Kept for long time in my military backpack in not very good condition for it but it still performed very well becouse of it's good quality. Than unfortunately I lost it somewhere ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What you expect + way more!! *by G***. on December 1, 2018* Great seller and great product! Arrived earlier than expected, which is always great. The tool itself is pretty sturdy plastic and does what it's supposed to. What's really excellent is the detailed instructions that came with it, almost everything you need to know about grid coordinates for the military grid reference system or the universal transverse mercator system along with two practice quizzes! Even more, the seller included a waterproof guide to the magnetic declination specific to my area! This company really does an amazing job and provides more than expected. Great value. ## Frequently Bought Together - MapTools Military Style UTM/MGRS Coordinate Scale - Staedtler Permanent Markers (STD313WP4A6), Pack of 4 pens - Staedtler Lumocolor Correction Pen each correction pen each --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1532502-maptools-military-style-utm-mgrs-coordinate-protractor](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1532502-maptools-military-style-utm-mgrs-coordinate-protractor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
