About New Grid
NOTE: Might not be working on some Android 5.0 and above devices!
Transformation from given (National) grid to your own (Local) grid coordinate system can be done with this program. Program works with Decimal Units for [Easting, Northing] or [X,Y] coordinates.
Unlike some other program you don't have to know distance between old and new grid systems. You don't have to know bearing or skew angle between old and new grid as well.
All you need is to decide where do you want to place your New Local Grid Zero [0] point (beginning of your new coordinate system), and one more point along a New North Line to describe where is direction for your "New North" line in New Local Grid System.
- Enter National Grid coordinates for "Zero" point.
- Enter National Grid coordinates for point along new "North" line.
- Enter National Grid coordinates for required point "X", click "Calculate" and you have new "Local" coordinates for point "X".
It is good practice to keep "North" point at least as far from "Zero" point as point "X". For example, if point "X" located 50 m away from "Zero" point, distance to point "North" should be about 50 m or more. You can always use "Coordinate Calculator1" or "Traverse Coordinate Calculator" to calculate coordinates for New Local North point at required distance.
New Grid program works with Decimal Units and [Easting,Northing]/[X,Y] coordinates . Results have 4 numbers after decimal point.
