[TheList] Grid Reference Help

Hi Leith,

Do this:

1. Download the Land Information New Zealand "NZ Map Reference Converter" program, from: https://www.linz.govt.nz/data/geodetic-system/download-geodetic-software/nz-map-reference-converter-download

2. When you search the RSM page, you can copy and paste (from the results) a value from the 'Grid Reference' column, into the 'D. NZ Topo 50 Map Reference' text box and click 'Convert'.

3. Copy the value from the 'F. NZGD2000/WGS84 lat/lon' text box. Paste this value into Google maps search. You will see the transmitter site.

Cheers,
Mark.

  Just wondering if someone could help me understand what Grid References are, and how to use them to use on a map like Google maps.  Trying to gather data from the RSM site.
