Enable Channel Islands UTM grid #79

Closed sacrevert closed 7 years ago

sacrevert commented 7 years ago

Enable Channel Islands UTM grid in the spatial reference drop down menu (and display grid on map)

Nested in #3

Can you confirm the format please - should this be the WA/WV format military grid, or just an easting northing? I've recently had dealings with Jersey where they've expected the latter rather than the former.

In the context of gridsquare-based botanical recording it should be WA/WV because easting/northing co-ordinates would denote an absolute point rather than a square.

Ok - thanks, that's done.

The WA/WV (UTM) based system is of course traditional, but the Jersey recorders use a government app that saves and exports records in lat/long. So, if we do eventually allow for recorders to upload spreadsheets of records to this system, we might need to allow for lat/longs in Jersey (and convert them to UTM grid squares). I'm not suggesting reopening this, it is just a reminder for myself.
