:I too am confused about why a different coordinate system cannot indicate the same ___location. Seems to me (an ignorant layman) that it would depend instead on whether they use the same datum. Or is there a rule that says that's not allowed? [[User:Jim.henderson|Jim.henderson]] ([[User talk:Jim.henderson|talk]]) 01:56, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 
I don't see how the statement is relevant to MGRS. Yes it's true thethat lat/lon requires a datum in order to be properly interpreted, but this article is about MGRS, not lat/lon. The rest of the article is focused on MGRS-specific traits, but this sentence about lat/lon is an entry to a whole other set of topics, and I think it's distracting here. It's like it's there just to lead you off into datums and geodesy, etc. Pardon my snarky example, but it would be like me saying that you can enter an MGRS coordinate into a handheld GPS unit, but the GPS won't work without batteries. i.e., not relevant to MGRS. -- [[User:LVB|LVB]] ([[User talk:LVB|talk]]) 17:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
