Military Grid Reference System (MGRS/NATO) grid references provides geocoordinate references
covering the entire globe, based on UTM projections.
MGRS references comprise a grid zone designator, a 100km square identification, and an easting
and northing (in metres); e.g. ‘31U DQ 48251 11932’.
Depending on requirements, some parts of the reference may be omitted (implied), and
eastings/northings may be given to varying resolution.
