Mapsco Grids on Custom GPS Maps

After 2 day of intense storms which caused the largest electric outages in Texas history,
During which I was listening to the Amateur Radio Operators "Weather Net" tracking the storm on my scanner.

I decided to see what a GPS map with the Mapsco Grids
(which they use to report weather conditions at these locations) would look like.

Here are the results

Mapsco Grid Reference Map:
Ellis
Johnson
Hill
& Navarro Counties
  • Maps feature
    • Transparent features which alow them to show ontop of any map that is loaded or basemap.
    • Large Grid line and Grid Designator Name
    • Detailed Grid Line & Grid Designator Name as POI's

5D,5E & 5F are the
large area grid designations.
Which are outlined in the heavy dashed box.

The smaller grey squares 919, 920 & 921 are the detailed grids
and the ones the "Weather Net" and others use.
 
The detail grid locations can be
found as "points of interest"

Detail grid references are listed in the nearest order,
Making this the easiest way to tell someone where you are at!
Since the nearest grid is the one you are in.
