How do you find the latitude and longitude of a grid reference?
- convert (geodetic) latitude/longitude to geocentric cartesian coordinates: e² = (a²−b²) / a² eccentricity of source ellipsoid (= 2·f − f²) ν = a / √(1 − e² · sin²φ)
- apply Helmert transform. The 7-parameter Helmert transform is given by: x. ′
- convert cartesian co-ordinates back to latitude/longitude.
