The grid reference to lat/long converter is ready for installation. The modules required are:

New modules:

• oscoor.php - the new, public resource
• cooerr.php - error and licence message
• helm_gb.php - Helmert transform WGS84 -> OSGB36

Replacing existing modules:

• transversemercator.php - added:
  • LRanger - grid ref in "pretty" format of 'XY 999 999'
  • WGS2OSGB - WGS84 to OSGB easting/northings conversion
• mapsources.php - changes:
  • use WGS2OSGB() instead of LatLon2OSGB36()
  • new $search item: {osgb36lr} and corresponding $replace item
  • $r_pagename and $r_title improved

Notes:

• oscoor.php blocks a couple of known spam bots - see $baddies array. Is there a toolserver policy about things like this?
• The versions of transversemercator.php & mapsources.php are based on copies I took back in 2008 Dec. It may be necessary to re-apply my mods to current versions. My mods can be seen here and here. Sorry - I have run both modules through my whitespace optimiser so there are lots of insignificant diffs showing.
