Convert MapGridPoint
Convert a map point between Latitude/Longitude and UTM.
Syntax
Convert <ScenarioPath> MapGridPoint {FromMapGridSpec} {PointDef} {ToMapGridSpec}
Description
Convert the point entered in {FromMapGridSpec} representation to {ToMapGridSpec} representation. Valid values for MapGridSpec are LatLon, UTM and MGRS.
The following table describes the format for {PointDef} based on the MapGridSpec, and also the format of the returned string.
| {MapGridSpec} | {PointDef} |
|---|---|
| LatLon | <Latitude> <Longitude> |
| UTM | <ZoneStr> <Easting> <Northing> |
| MGRS | <MGRSString> |
The following table describes the specifications for the above values:
| Value | Unit |
|---|---|
| Latitude and Longitude | Connect Latitude and Longitude units (default is degrees). |
| ZoneStr | Valid values for <ZoneStr> are A, B, Y, Z or ddc, where 00>dd>61 and c can be C through X, but not I or O. The c character indicates the zone row and is optional. If not included the value T will be used. |
| Easting and Northing | <Easting> and <Northing> are entered in Connect distance units.
When UTM is the {ToMapGridSpec} the <Easting> and <Northing> values are returned in Connect distance units. |
