Description: converting module between Lat/Lon and the British National Grid
- Geo::Coordinates::OSGB and Geo::Coordinates::OSTN02 offer an implementation
- of co-ordinate conversion for England, Wales, and Scotland based on formulae
- published by the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain.
+ The included modules provide an implementation of co-ordinate conversion for
+ England, Wales, and Scotland based on formulae and data published by the
+ Ordnance Survey of Great Britain.
.
- These modules will convert accurately between an OSGB national grid
- reference and lat/lon coordinates based on the OSGB geoid model.
+ The Geo::Coordinates::OSGB module provides routines to convert between
+ latitude/longitude coordinates in the WGS84 or OSGB36 models and the British
+ National Grid. The Geo::Coordinates::OSGB::Grid module includes some useful
+ extra routines to parse and format grid references in a variety of popular
+ forms (including which Landranger map your point appears on). The
+ Geo::Coordinates::OSGB::Maps module provides data for British maps.
.
- To get more accurate results you need to combine this module with its
- companion Geo::Coordinates::OSTN02 which implements the transformation that
- now defines the relationship between GPS survey data based on WGS84 and the
- British National Grid.
+ Note that due to the nature of this type of conversion, the conversions are
+ only really useful in the vicinity of the British Isles. If you are elsewhere
+ on the planet you need an implementation optimized for your neighbourhood.
