This is probably a long shot, but is there any way to get the 8.4" Uconnect's offroad pages to display UTM GPS coordinates?

In the past I would use paper maps for all my navigation and used a Garmin foretrex 301 to display a UTM grid position to locate myself on the map. Degree Minute Seconds is not as easy to use to locate yourself on a map as UTM so if there was any way to switch it that would be awesome.

On my old Uconnect ? Factory radio with nav 2008. Jeep jkur it allowed you to switch back and forth. Used to use it in the desert to locate exploratory borings I would think this one would too. Try looking around in settings

On my offroad pages there isn't much to click and under the map settings I only see 3 different formats of degrees, but no UTM. Am I missing a menu somewhere?

I’ve changed my GPS degree setting but it doesn’t change in the off-road pages.
