Abstract
This manual describes the geographic to grid and grid to geographic
conversions for the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and the Universal
Polar Stereographic (UPS) grids. It also discusses computations for
convergence from geographic positions and from grid coordinates for
the UTM grid, and convergence in the Polar Stereographic projection.
Both mathematical and tabular methods are illustrated for the above
items. A discussion of scale corrections is included. Transformations
between the two grids, the Military Grid Reference System and the
World Geographic Reference System are discussed. Finally, datum transformation
methods, formulas and definitions are illustrated. Diagrams, textual
information and software are provided. All software for grid calculations,
including thos from manual DMA TM 8358.1, are included as ANNEXES
A and B.
