NavigX is a software tool that enables users to convert Latitude/Longitude coordinates to Ordnance Survey Grid References and vice versa. With just a few steps, users can easily convert between the two coordinate systems, making it convenient for various navigation purposes.
The NavigX Widget is a handy tool that can be downloaded and installed into your OS X Dashboard. Its purpose is to convert Latitude/Longitude (Lat/Long) Coordinates into Ordnance Survey Grid References (OS Grid) and vice-versa. It’s an efficient way to quickly obtain coordinates that you need. The widget is incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is enter EITHER a Lat/Long OR an OS Grid and click the ‘Convert’ button. The results are displayed instantly.
In case you need to redo your calculations, you can quickly clear all the fields on the widget by clicking the ‘Reset’ button. The default setting for the NavigX Widget is set to 6-figure precision for OS Grid references but that can be increased up to 10 figures with just a few clicks.
There are a few things to note when using this widget. First, Lat/Long coordinates should be entered in the following format, e.g. 59 26 12.345 N, representing a location at 59º 26' 12.345" North. Secondly, an Ordnance Survey Grid reference is entered as NY995346; grid square followed by coordinates as 6, 8 or 10 figure grid reference. Thirdly, it is essential to note that the Ordnance Survey Grid ONLY covers the United Kingdom. Finally, the United Kingdom is located in the Northern Hemisphere.
In conclusion, the NavigX Widget is a useful tool that helps to convert coordinates seamlessly. It is user-friendly and easy to operate, and the results are displayed instantly. You can change the precision level depending on your needs, and it’s easy to erase previous calculations. Just remember that the Ordnance Survey Grid only covers the United Kingdom, and Lat/Long coordinates should be entered following the provided format.
