What types of maps have grids?

When do you use grid and graticule layers?
Grid definition files are delivered with ArcGIS for several generic grid formats, as well as for several standard grid formats including U.S. National Grid, defense map products, and national mapping organization-style maps. When would you use Grid and Graticule layers?
When to use the military grid reference system?
When using the Military Grid Reference System, which includes the grid zones and 100,000-meter boundaries necessary to refer to a location using MGRS coordinates (ArcMap MGRS grids can also be used in map layouts requiring the U.S. National Grid reference system.) Custom overlay grids do not handle cases where the map crosses UTM zones.
