Display Data in Ordnance Survey National Grid Coordinates
To be honest it's the first time I hear about Ordnance Survey National Grid. I guess it shouldn't be very hard to convert actual values, but then how would you display it? As far as I understand it doesn't use latitude and longitude terminology.
Hi Anton
It would be great if the user could choose between displaying position data in Lat/Long OR OSNG in both the state pane and the device history pane.
There is plenty of info out there about OSNG:
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/resources/maps-and-geographic-resources/the-national-grid.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid
There are loads of websites that will convert between the two formats despite the "projections" being different. Having a tool that will show tracker data in OSNG on the fly would give UK users a great tool to use.
Cheers
We can keep this top here as a feature request, but I don't think I would have time to work on it any time soon. There is just too much other higher priority things.
Understood - glad it's on th elist though ;-)
Some code already here to do this conversion

Might help, as way beyond me.
Just got my trackers talking back to Traccar - VERY HAPPY!
Has anyone thought of having the option to display position in the Ordnance Survey National Grid format? That would allow easy conversion to the OS paper maps we have here.
