@hamset/maidenhead-locator

Maidenhead grid locator and WGS84 coordinate calculation and transformation

Usage

npm i @hamset/maidenhead-locator

import {
  validateGridLocator,
  WGS84ToMaidenhead,
  maidenheadToWGS84,
  maidenheadToBoundingBox,
  GridLocator,
  WGS84,
  LatLng
} from '@hamset/maidenhead-locator';

// convert maidenhead grid locator to WGS84 coordinate
const grid_locator = 'DM06gs'
const coordinate: WGS84 = maidenheadToWGS84(grid_locator);
// output: { lat: 36.75, lng: -119.5 }

// convert WGS84 coordinate to maidenhead grid locator
const coordinate: LatLng = { lat: 36.75, lng: -119.5 }
const grid_locator: GridLocator = WGS84ToMaidenhead(coordinate);
// output: 'DM06gs'

// get bounding box coordinates from maidenhead grid locator
const grid_locator = 'DM06gs'
const bounds: [LatLng, LatLng] = maidenheadToBoundingBox(grid_locator); 
// output: [ [ 36.75, -119.5 ], [ 36.791666666666664, -119.41666666666667 ] ]
