US National Grid service

TimWitt2 — Tue, 12 Aug 2014 13:58:11 GMT

Hey everybody!

I was wondering if anybody knows of a US National grid Dynamic Service layer, that drills down more than this one:

If not, is there a locator that I can access that allows putting in National Grid coordinates? I know that in ArcGIS Desktop you can use the "Go to XY" tool and put in USNG coordinates.

Thanks!

Tim

Tim- I don't have an answer for you, but I'm glad ( in a dark sort of way) that you experienced the same thing I did!

ESRI have a sample service set up here that converts MGRS (which I think USNG is the same) --> Lat/Long through the REST endpoint:

http://serverapps101.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/MGRS/GeocodeServer/findAddressCandidates?

i.e:

MGRS to Lat/Long

http://serverapps101.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/MGRS/GeocodeServer/findAddressCandidates?MGRS=41rpr141252&MGRS=&outFields=&outSR=&searchExtent=&f=pjson

Lat/Long to MGRS

http://serverapps101.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/MGRS/GeocodeServer/reverseGeocode?location=64.5%2C31.5&distance=&outSR=&f=pjson

It may be worth talking to your ESRI rep to see if you can get a copy of the service

I know, I'm surprised they don't have it to at least 10m * 10m...

Anthony I think you are right, Locator/MGRS (GeocodeServer)‌ according to the description it includes USNG
