Server 10.1 Sp1 , REST and MGRS

[ar4]

I need to convert either DD, or DMS to MGRS and back again.

Does the current REST API support this conversion ?

There does not appear to be a WKID for this conversion ( or MGRS at all ).

Is this conversion supported in ANY of the 10.1 REST services ?

[ar4]

Here is the conversion list I am aware of

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/dattrans.html

Also the WKIDs found here and here also have no MGRS at all .

Is a server extension required to enable this for REST services ?

Stimpy,

You probably need to install military analyst on to your server:

If you are targeting a lex application this can be one client side with the classes found in this download:

@ad_giles

Thanks however this raises quite a few more questions then it answers.

Does Military analyst add more REST functions or APIs? Does it add WKIDS ? If so where can the documentation be found ?

While I appreciate the mention of flex, our requirements for mobile support and avoidance of the use of flash preclude its use.

Is there some ESRI supported method for this transformation available for web applications ?

thanks for the help

Stimpy,

ESRI have a sample service set up here that converts MGRS --> 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=41r...

Lat/Long to MGRS

http://serverapps101.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/MGRS/GeocodeServer/reverseGeocode?location=64.5%2...

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