Is there a formula to convert from Thomas Bros Map page & grid to a latitude/longitude?


I'm working on a project that contains Thomas Brothers Map page and grid numbers. Is there a way to programatically convert from this map page to a latitude & longitude?

An Example would be for the intersection of the US101 & I405 freeways.

ThomasBrothers: 561-3G (page-grid)


Solution

  • Not that I know of, but I don't have a lot of experience with Thomas bros maps. Are you talking about printed version of the maps or is there a link somewhere to an online map?

    If you just need a few lat/longs, then you can look up the locations that correspond to the grid and get the lats and longs manually at many websites, including http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html

    If you provide a link to a Thomas bros map that you are using, I might be able to help further.

    By looking at the link above, you can determine that US 101 and I-405 has a latitude of 34.16073390017978 and a longitude of -118.46952438354492.
