I'm a bit into deep waters with theese type of algorithms, so it's good to rely on someone who knows. Thanks for sharing your choord classes! BTW: I think the error checking routine for the precision parameters is in lack of a few dollars? ;) I was looking for the whole UTM -> MGRS -> UTM ++ thing, and here you’ve made it!

But didnt want to touch the base classes. Ah sorry if you where meaning specifically the MGRS -> UTM cord, then see here:

Inspired by your stuff and GeoTools2, I have just finished building a mapplet for Israel's gridlines: http://maps.google.com/ig/add?synd=mpl&pid=mpl&moduleurl=http://www.peace-love-freedom.net/itm-mapplet/itm-mapplet.xml It is built upon this small js lib: http://code.google.com/p/js-itm/ I believe the view based refresh is something new in Google maps, right? Cheers, Udi Hi Barry!

I know nothing about it, and only find references to technical datum transformations. looking for a wikipedia style page to get a overview to see if it should be possible. As an aside the MGRS layer now displays better in Google Maps, the labels use the Google Chart API to plot actual numbers rather than ugly blue pins. (but the numbers are still rather big due to limitations of Google Maps, vote <a href="http://code.google.com/p/kml-samples/issues/detail?id=202" rel="nofollow">here to get it changed</a>.) @Munir

Would it be possible for you to assist in a similar project for India Zone 1 to draw the grid lines and know the GR in India Zone 1 format. Regards Hi
