node-red-contrib-mgrs v1.0.0

node-red-contrib-mgrs

A Node-RED node to convert co-ordinates in Latitude and Longitude to and from MGRS format.

Install

Either use the Node-RED menu - manage palette - install option, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

npm i node-red-contrib-mgrs

Usage

If the selected msg property contains .lat and .lon properties, this node adds a corresponding MGRS location as .mgrs.

If the object contains a .mgrs property as below, and not .lat and .lon they will be created.

msg.payload.mgrs - string - e.g. 30U XB 15652 56680

The MGRS may contain less precision if required, e.g. 30U XB 1 5, but does require spaces between the 4 parts.
