The included modules provide an implementation of co-ordinate conversion for England, Wales, and Scotland based on formulae and data published by the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain.
The Geo::Coordinates::OSGB module provides routines to convert between latitude/longitude coordinates in the WGS84 or OSGB36 models and the British National Grid. The Geo::Coordinates::OSGB::Grid module includes some useful extra routines to parse and format grid references in a variety of popular forms (including which Landranger map your point appears on).
