### Problem

This might be considered a subversive email, but here it is anyway.

As you may know many people differ with the positions of our current POTUS, and that's great. It is a free country and people should be free to express their opinions.

However blatant discrimination I would think should be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately, by simple oversight or through negligence it seems me this has been the case in open street maps. Long story short you guys don't have the NATO grid or any Grid near as I can see to turn on.

You can search by Latitude and Longitude but not by MGRS the Military Grid Reference System thought up by NATO back in the 1940s. However Google knows about it. Just type 16SFH0600025000 into the Google Search Engine (not even Google Maps) and a map of one unique square meter of Earth is shown.

Since our current President of the United States is seemingly unaware of this of the mapping interdependence of the NATO allies I would hope Open Street Maps could supply the option of turning this Grid on or off  ASAP. I know it is only a small symbolic gesture but it would be greatly appreciated by some. Thank for your time and consideration in this matter. 

(yes I have found a mapping app here in the States that does this but redundancy is a good thing right?)

(I am kind of new at this so if this is the wrong place to post this I apologize If you could please inform me of your decision in this matter I would appreciate it.

Or just an email to where the answer is posted?
