The U.S. National Grid Institute’s mission is to promote awareness and use of the U.S. National Grid federal geospatial standard as the nation’s primary geo-location coordinate system and 'language of location' for emergency response, data analysis, asset management and public mapping.  Learn more at usngi.org.
