Is there such a thing as a clear overlay with say 10x10 or 100x100 grids printed on it at the exact size of the UTM lines on Australian maps?
And if so, where would I find such a thing, because "map overlay" isn't googling very well.
It would just be very nice to be able to much more accurately work out the finer points within the grid without having to either guestimate or use a ruler etc.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but being semi-technical it isn't really general chat, but then again nor is it really specifically 4wd related (unless 4wd's want to know where they are, where they're going, and what roads will get them there)

yeah I think the roamer is what I used to use in rallys.
Its a kind of quick reference bit of tin that has various scales marked out on it. Absolutely indespnsible pre GPS helped to map dozens of waypoints with better accuracy than you would think

What, haven't you ever done lines of International Roast off a hookers back with $100 notes?
Roamer is available from geoscience australia here:

you should be able to get hold of one from a place like snowgum, paddy pallin or a dedicated map shop

Thanks, once I knew they were called "roamers" I found them for $2 at Johnny Appleseed GPS, and have ordered a couple. Should be here in about 2 - 5 days.
They are a bit different to what I'd expected, I'd imagined a simple grid like they have on graph paper but printed on overhead style plastic,
but apparently these work from the top right corner of the grid, and you then read down the sides to the borders of the specific UTM section to get the co-ordinates of the top right corner.
So should be easier than trying to see THROUGH the graphpaper type lines to what's on the map under it.
Anyway, thanks again for the help.
