MGRS or UTM/NGS numbers for fishing wrecks/reefs? I've started using them because they tend to be way more accurate, but I haven't found a decent website with them listed. Thanks....
Anyone know any good websites for downloading...

Steve,
That's all metric crap. Do you have charts that are delineated in these formats? How do you know where you are via a receiver? GPS equates to L/L. LORAN equates to LOP and/or L/L. Only local charts I have ever seen have L/L or LOP's. Some of the Bahama charts now have soundings in Meters. I hate that metric stuff.
A good depth finder always makes finding structure easier. BTW, slip me a couple of those Key's Honey Hole #'s when you get a chance.
Let me know what you might find out as far as the site you are looking for.

Your GPS comes with the ability to reformat to the NGS, I really think it's gonna be the new wave with civilians, we deal with USCG alot and they use it, accurate to the centimeter. I've found that even when I input seconds, it's still hit or miss on locating wrecks, the fishfinders aren't perfect either plus I never enter drift info, but the Grid system nails it. I might be able to get some charts but I thought maybe noaa or someone would have translated the numbers.
I've got a few holes in the Keys but I just found a guy whose lived there since the 50's in Marathon and he's making a list for me, I'll let you know when I get them.

It's under set-up, prolly location format, the NGS is old skool but it works well. We're going to it for after hurricanes when all landmarks are gone. I can give you the numbers and there's no deviation. Simple and quick, everyones on the same page.
