libgeo-coordinates-osgb-perl - 2.20-2 main

The included modules provide an implementation of co-ordinate conversion for
England, Wales, and Scotland based on formulae and data published by the
Ordnance Survey of Great Britain.
.
The Geo::Coordinates::OSGB module provides routines to convert between
latitude/longitude coordinates in the WGS84 or OSGB36 models and the British
National Grid. The Geo::Coordinates::OSGB::Grid module includes some useful
extra routines to parse and format grid references in a variety of popular
forms (including which Landranger map your point appears on). The
Geo::Coordinates::OSGB::Maps module provides data for British maps.
.
Note that due to the nature of this type of conversion, the conversions are
only really useful in the vicinity of the British Isles. If you are elsewhere
on the planet you need an implementation optimized for your neighbourhood.
