Talk:Irish grid reference system

message: * Is there a direct relationship between lat/long and the grid system? If I have a gps which give info in lat/long how do I/can I translate this into a grid reference?  [preceding anon edit on 11:18, 18 April 2007 by 62.173.102.55]
**Most GPSs have the means to change from DMSDMS units to any one of a number of national grids, Irish included.  I suggest you rtfm to find this as the mathematics are rather too difficult to do on the back of an envelope. --Red King 19:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: E, K, P, U and Z are sometimes shown along the right side of the grid, but they're not on any maps - maps covering those areas are on the UK grid system, the OSI and OSNI don't make maps covering them, so they're out of use. --Kiand 19:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Yes, rotation to realign grid north to true north and a slight jiggle for best fit.  It's here somewhere, I've definitely seen a graphic with both on it, with a formula --Red King 17:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

message: According to the OSi web site here this article should be called Irish grid reference system (not Irish national grid reference system). I propose a title change. If anyone has any input regarding the title please share it now--Trounce 09:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems user Ludraman created this article as an "equivalent" to the British national grid article.It looks like user Ludraman simply swapped the "British" part of the title with "Irish". However, that wasn't the correct name for the grid system.--Trounce 09:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  For the record I re-titled the article.--Trounce 18:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: This article should be called Irish grid reference system

message: I think a map showing the Irish and British systems, and where they overlap, would be useful. The 100km square boundaries should be adequate.
I might be able to do this; I'd just need an outline map of the British Isles in a GIS-suitable format. 86.21.227.237 (talk) 14:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overlap - image? 

message: Ireland has a new grid reference system based on ITM. Users are being urged to upgrade from the system described on this page. Both systems are in use at present and this article needs fairly major work to reflect these changes. Unfortunately I cannot undertake this at present. Could someone add an appropriate banner to the head of the article?
