how to translate US military map coordinates?

Post by WABAC »

Anyone know a good site, or a gadget that does this?

For example

The 2d Squadron of the 2d ACR was headquartered at Bamberg (Warner Barracks) and operated out of Camp Hof (QA 0678). It was responsible for the border sector between PA 607713 and QA 119854.

Note though, that most MGRS coordinates you read, doesn't state the zone (it's usually implied).
Most of Germany is in zone 32U, and if you need another zone, try this:

So the sector between PA 607713 and QA 119854, would be between 50° 16.316' N 11° 15.310' E and 50° 22.946' N 11° 58.841' E
