Support for Tetrads ("DINTY" system) #3

Closed jkennedyie closed 4 months ago

jkennedyie commented 4 months ago

Conventional Irish grid references are 1 m, 10 m, 100 m, 1 km, 10 km or 100 km in precision.

In some scenarios a precision of 2000 m is useful. A tetrad is a block of 2 x 2 adjacent 1 km squares. There are 25 tetrads in a 10 km square. A tetrad grid reference can be given by a 10 km grid reference followed by a single letter (the letter O is skipped).

For more information see:

It could be useful if igr supported conversion from and to the tetrad from of grid reference, sometimes referred to as DINTY form of grid reference.
