I'm looking for a program that will allow me to see the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). I found a program called GeoScout that is supposed to do this, and it says it's for all Windows Mobile 2003 and later devices. So I assumed that having the DCD 3.0.1 rom in here with windows mobile 6.1 would work. I installed the .net compact framework 2.0, and whenever I go to install this, it tells me it's unsuccessful.

So I guess this means it's not compatible. So does anyone know of any software for this phone that will allow me to use the MGRS System?

I guess there is no answer to this? I'll have to dig around some more.

I'm 2 for 2 on here so far.

You can actually convert UTM to MGRS. An article explaining this is HERE (https://www.navigator.navy.mil/navigator/map_reading_201.doc)
Other than that, I'm not too familiar with MGRS but I hope this helps.
