Hi all!

Does anyone know of a quick way to convert some 2xxx MGRS coordinates
to LatLon, for mapping purposes?

Thanks in advance,
Namik

Not a finished solution, but perhaps start here:

Thanks rjhintz! Will look at it as well, looks like a busy article at
first ;)

MMG, :) here is the link to the VBA module I wrote in Excel to create
a custom formula:

One can easily import the module to one's Excel Workbook to make use
of the formula.

I have derived the calculation method from a spreadsheet I found on
the web, and I've given credit to its creator inside the code.

Results are excellent!

Cheers,
Namik
