*gurgle* I was hoping to stick to short Python functions. Thanks for the pointer, maybe there's something I can salvage from there!

Hi Mike,

It's essentially a table look-up. It's explained in detail in the DMA
Tech Manual. However, there is a fairly clean C implementation for
doing this with Geotrans -- a calculator for converting geographic
coordinates that's pretty nifty in its own right. They also have a
module for USNG, which is very similar.

I'm trying to understand how to convert between lat/lon, UTM, and MGRS.

UTM is a piece of cake, but MGRS is confusing. I'm looking at the wikipedia article, and I don't understand how to reliably determine the SQ_ID, "FJ" in
the example here:
       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_grid_reference_system

What's the process for determining those 100km square areas?
