Notably missing from the evaluation is MGRS, the coordinate system used by NATO for more or less the same purpose.

I like it because if you have the coordinates of a landmark, you can easily estimate the coordinates of other nearby locations entirely in your head, and the system encodes precision so you can indicate uncertainty.
