USNG Coordinates
What this tool does
This tool converts standard latitude and longitude coordinates into a United States National Grid (USNG) reference. This grid system is an alphanumeric format often used in mapping and navigation to pinpoint a location.
Please note that the platform calculates this conversion locally. While it attempts to be accurate, the result is an approximation and may not be precise enough for critical legal boundary work or survey-grade measurements.
Common uses
- Converting GPS coordinates into a grid reference for use with USNG-capable mapping software.
- Preparing location data for reporting or documentation that requires USNG formatting.
Input data
| Parameter | Required | Example | Description |
