MGRS Mapper

Operational Graphics Tool for Junior Leaders

Build and share custom maps with standard military graphics using a simple visual interface

Built by a Soldier

I'm CPT James Pistell and I built this app over a period of 2 years. MGRS Mapper is designed with soldiers in mind. Symbols are easy to search for and the application functionality is easy and intuitive to use.

You may have seen something similar to this in the past, but after learning all the new and unique features MGRS Mapper has and what it can really do, you may be kicking yourself for not checking it out sooner.

Drag, Drop, Learn...

MGRS Mapper is an easy-to-use visual tool that lets you build custom operational overlays, quickly learn military symbols, and export them as images or shareable links. No longer will you have to search for PowerPoint files that contain military symbols (often which are outdated) and copy/paste them one-by-one. MGRS Mapper allows users to quickly search for the symbol they are looking for and effortlessly drag them onto a topographic map with MGRS grid overlays.

Build

Search for your symbol and drag it onto the map to easily construct CONOPs or operational overlays. MGRS Mapper symbols contain land units, sea units, air units, equipment, Graphic Control Measures, and Tactical Mission Tasks.

Customize

Map symbols can be enhanced with the new ADP 1-02 symbol modifiers. You can now specify the capabilities of a particular unit or symbol on the map. Premium users have 5 different map types to choose from and can also draw on the map.
