OSGB36 National Grid
Eastings and Northings
The Coordinate Transformation Tool transforms GPS based ETRS89 latitude and longitude or cartesian XYZ coordinates to the equivalent OSGB36 National Grid eastings and northings, and vice-versa, using Ordnance Survey's National Grid Transformation OSTN02. It also transforms GPS ellipsoid heights to orthometric (mean sea level) heights on the relevant Ordnance Survey mapping datum (Ordnance Datum Newlyn for mainland Britain), using the National Geoid Model OSGM02.
To read an article about the development of the OSTN02 transformation see the November/December 2001 edition of Geomatics World Magazine.

A spreadsheet that includes many projection coordinate functions, including functions to re-format coordinates into the Degrees, Minutes, Seconds format.
