Grid References on Google Maps

I made this ages ago, but forgot about it. And as I havent said anything on here for a while, I’ll post it now just to fill the void. Its a simple mapplet that allows jumping to the location on Google Maps by Grid reference, as well as displaying the GR of the clicked point. KISS

GB and Ireland Grid References Mapplet

Thanks to Lordelph for the Javascript (but I notice that links to a version hosted here!)

    Brilliant!

    Now how about a Maplet that will give me a postcode from a point on a Google Map as simply? I know about your converter on Nearby.org

    Or a way of putting a postcode into Google Maps?

    Since Google has just released a reverse geocoder for the API, a nice demo here:

    surprised no mapplet to do the same! (I guess that is the prompt to make it…)

    Just enter a postcode into the search box, if it doesnt like it just add ‘, uk’ to the end :)

    That’s great! Though a shame the reverse decoder won’t give the postcode (for UK addresses)

    Is there a way of putting a UK OS Grid Ref into Google?

    Hi, seems really good what you have a created, however…. in my maps i have already pinpointed certain locations, is it possible to get a grid ref off my pre defined points without having to hunt for the spot again?

    Thanks

    Piers
