Usage

[edit]

Converts a OS grid ref to a lat/long hyperlink to geohack.

{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|main|SK135733}} ← Two-letter code interpreted as OS grid ref in Great Britain
{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|main|O169318}} ← One-letter code interpreted as Irish OS grid ref
{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|main|439668_1175316}} ← Two digit strings interpreted as easting/northing in meters in Great Britain
{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|main|i88888_99999}} ← String starting with i is easting/northing in meters in Ireland
{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|main|SK135733|Miller's Dale}} ← Second argument is used as link text
{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|main|SK135733_scale:25000_region:GB-DBY}} ← extra underscored parameters passed to geohack
  • The oscoord function returns the link wrapped in a span.
  • The |rawurl= returns the simple URL, not a link.
  • Template that wraps main is available at {{Ordnance Survey url}}.
  • For other template wrapping, see Template:Gbmapping/doc

Also converts from lat/long back to OS grid ref:

{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|WGS2OSGB|53.256538|-1.799102}} → SK1350073300
{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|LL2OS|53.256538|-1.799102}}SK1350073300
{{#invoke:Ordnance Survey coordinates|LL2OS|53.256538|-1.799102|scale:25000}}SK1350073300
