Is it possible to find a location on the map by entering
grid references?

Yes. Type the co-ordinates into the position display at the top of the map screen and a green go button will appear press that button. Look in latest Manual page 4 App Layout.

Aren't "
Grid References " and "Coordinates" two different things ?(though a
grid reference is derived from a coordinate).

Yes - but what about the term "
grid reference"? As stated, different. Dare I say... Google it :)
May come across as pedantic....but
Cheers

UTM, a

grid reference system, both available in ExplorOz Traveller can be done as Dick has described.

Don't get your point Greg. The standard term we used for UTM coords was a
grid reference if that's what you mean, but they are still coordinates. Pretty sure you know but others might be interested in section 7 of this ICSM document:
ICSM Grid Ref
p85 has the Universal
Grid Reference box typically seen on National Mapping (et al) large scale UTM topo maps (also usually present on GA 250K and 100K geological maps iirc).
As you know, in the UTM system LL coords can be derived from UGRs, and UGRs can be derived from LL coords
I don't know how EOT operates but
grid coords require a zone ID as
well as the northings and eastings

Military
grid reference is the term used by EO Traveller, also the term used by all my soil surveyor colleagues.
