Description

The GetUSNGFromCoords method returns a USNG string. The United States National Grid (USNG) is a simplified version of the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and is an alphanumeric way to represent a location. The Point must have a spatial reference that includes a coordinate system. It does not have to a be a geographic coordinate system. The precision parameter controls the length of the string. The sample USNG string below has a precision of 5 which means it is to the closest meter. The geographic coordinates are using the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate system. The first two numbers in the string are the UTM zone number.

latitude=40.0
longitude=-100.0
USNG=14TMK1463928236
