Its so cheap I kinda just want it for the fun of having one. Plus you never know when you might get shipped out and I definitely would want a plugger.

Its 89bucks and has 500 way points and 20 routes.

I no nothing about them but would it work on the military grid system or only latitude and longitude.

thanks for any help.

If you have a laptop you may find a GPS setup for that in the same price range to be a little more useful for vehicle based navigation. For dismounted navigation, as far as I know they will output in a few different formats, but I don't think that they Military grid is one of them.

ETA: I use a laptop GPS reciever in my vehicle for work all of the time, it is great, it combines having a street level map, and the GPS signal in real time.
