Our project is for ARMY. The input may be in MGRS unit or UTM. How do I convert them? Thanks, Wilson
How do I convert between MGRS and UTM
Hi Wilson,
The Map Suite supports the conversion between MGRS and UTM, but hasn’t been integrated into our library yet. It’s gonna come out within 2 days. We will let you know ASAP.
Thanks,
Johnny
Hi Wilson,
We have added the MGRSProjection conversion into our product, but before a release, can you give us more information about your requirements? You know we don’t have lots of scenarios about how to use it. Hope your updating.
Below as following are features about MGRSProjection conversion now. Please note all the conversion is based on one point.
1. Support MGRS string to geodetic coordinates, and back.
2. Support different datum when doing the conversion.
3. Allow different Ellipsoid code.
If you have more scenarios about it, please let us know.
Thanks
Johnny
Wilson,
Please disregard the post from Johnny. We have have added the functionality to the core library. It will a set of static methods on the static class DecimalDegreesHelper. The methods will be as follows, or close…
string DecimalDegreesHelper.ConvertToMgrs(double latitude, double longitude)
PointShape DecimalDegreesHelper.ConvertFromMgrs(string mgrs)
We are going to to use the standard default datum, so disregard that in the previous post.
Johnny will update this post when it is completely in there and he has the version umber for you to get.
