Title: Message Title

Leif Gruenwoldt created an issue   GeoTools / GEOT-5489 Add support for MGRS geocoordinate standard Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 15.0 Assignee: Unassigned Components: referencing Created: 16/Aug/16 5:52 PM Priority: Medium Reporter: Leif Gruenwoldt MGRS is a geocoordinate standard often used by NATO militaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_grid_reference_system It would be very useful if geotools natively supported this. Over the years others have asked about this on the mailing list. https://sourceforge.net/p/geotools/mailman/search/?q=mgrs Since it's derived from UTM, the process of converting a lat lon coordinate to MGRS can be done by using geootols to convert to UTM first and then writing some code to convert to MGRS. e.g. lat lon --> UTM --> MGRS And vice versa. I've got some external code that does this, I may need some direction refactoring it into something that geotools could include.
