Title: RD coordinates
Post by: roelof on January 13, 2012, 14:25:57

I would like to be able to use the Dutch Coordinate System (RDS) in Locus. Many geographical points in Holland (and Belgium, Nrd France) are depicted in this coordinate system. Would be very helpfull to directly search in Locus with this coordinates instead of first having to translate them in Lat/Lon.

BTW; thanks for the brilliant app!

This really would be great, because the grid in commenly used in the Netherlands like cadastral maps
For a lot of dutch geocachers (including myself :roll: ) this would also be usefull, because it is also used in a lot of geocaches.

I found a javascript on the internet which is based on a working script. The script is also used on this website (//http://et10.org/gc/rd.php) and is used by a lot of people. You could use it for checking the script.
This (//http://atarist.home.xs4all.nl/geo/gps_rd.htm) could also be usefull since it shows settings in some GPS devices.

Or the translated (by google) wikipedia page (//http://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=nl&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FRijksdriehoeksco%25C3%25B6rdinaten)

I hope it can be implemented, since this will save me a lot of online converting in the field.

Works great. The 3 decimals are probably not required, but not a big issue.

Thanks for implementing...... :D

hmm I have set all transformations to milimetres ... probably don't have much sense, correct, but also not a big issue as you said. Fine, thanks for test

Menion,

I would like to ask you to consider renaming this system to 'Dutch Grid (RD)' so.ce people outside the Netherlands probably don't know what 'RD Coordinates' are and would try to use it in an area where they don't make any sense.

Probably it was a bit late for me yesterday.
It's better to check if the upgrade is completed correctly. :oops::oops::oops::oops:
