@Bruce

Yes you can run this on your own machine (the same machine that is running GE) – I built and tested it on my Laptop

Does this have to run on a server or can I run it on my computer (WinXp)and have the MGRS grid load correctly in Gooogle Earth Pro?

Do you have some suggestions or requested changes for appweb. We’re doing 3.0 now and would love to make changes to make this neat solution work more easily with appweb.

The UTM and MGRS layers are already conversions from British National Grid (and Irish Grid).

Its all about the maths, if you can get a coordinate conversion system, then it should be possible.

Its slightly different for simply a projection, as its still lat/long based system, just how the ‘grid’ is distorted.
So if you can get a conversion between lat/long and absolute position on a projected map then it should be possible by using that conversion backwards. (basically get the php source to conversion on the Australian government site here)

Already a great implementation.

Any idea how to implement a similar project for dispaly of other projected coordinates specific to country’s grid. I require it for a project to display Lambert Conformal Conical projection. Regards.

Tom, have you got the AppWeb application actully running?

I think it shows a Icon in the Tray beside the clock. If it shows there try closing it, and then starting it again using the item in your Start Menu.

[...] So the server hosted version has been updated, and also the file inside the zip for the offline version (which are in fact identical code!), and if really interested heres the diff. [...]
