    Afternoon

    I'm going through some US morning reports for Normandy and locations are identified as 6 digits ...... for instance 587 669.

    Can anyone help me with how I track down the Balleroy 1:25000 map so I can map a location or any really clever way of converting into Google Earth or standard co-ordinates without buying a GSGS map

    Fingers crossed!
