Greetings. Some months ago I mentioned a slightly buggy American online
facility for converting between grid references and geographical
coordinates (lat/lon), something many of us need to do when recording
locational data in UTM format and wanting to convert it to lat/lon for the
Birds Australia and other observation data sheets.
Geoscience Australia (formerly AUSLIG) has revamped and greatly improved
its web site; speeded it up dramatically; and included tools for making
these conversions. They are at:
http://www.auslig.gov.au/geodesy/datums/redfearn_grid_to_geo.htm and
http://www.auslig.gov.au/geodesy/datums/redfearn_geo_to_grid.htm .
A fine service from Geoscience Australia.
David
