<h1>Lat Lon Tools Plugin</h1>
40
-
<p><strong><em>Lat Lon Tools</em></strong> makes it easy to capture, zoom to coordinates, convert coordinates in text fields into new point layers, export point geometry into text fields, and interact with other on-line mapping tools. It adds MGRS, Standard UTM, Geohash, and Plus Code coordinate support to QGIS. When working with <strong>Google Earth*<em>, <strong>Google Maps</strong> or other on-line mapping tools, coordinates are specified in the order of 'Latitude, Longitude'. By default </em></strong>Lat Lon Tools<strong><em> uses the standard Google Map format, but is very flexible and can use virtually any projection and coordinate format for input and output. The following tools are available in </em></strong>Lat Lon Tools***.</p>

It adds MGRS, Standard UTM, Geohash, and Plus Code coordinate support to QGIS. When working with <strong>Google Earth</strong>, <strong>Google Maps</strong> or other on-line mapping tools, coordinates are specified in the order of 'Latitude, Longitude'. By default <strong><em>Lat Lon Tools</em></strong> uses the standard Google Map format, but is very flexible and can use virtually any projection and coordinate format for input and output. The following tools are available in <strong><em>Lat Lon Tools</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Some of the functions can be accessed from the <strong><em>Lat Lon Tools</em></strong> toolbar. If for some reason the toolbar is missing, select the menu item <strong><em>View->Toolbars</em></strong> and make sure <strong><em>Lat Lon Tools Toolbar</em></strong> is enabled. The conversion algorithms can be run from the QGIS Processing Toolbox.</p>
<p><imgsrc="images/copyicon.png" alt="Copy/Display coordinate"><strong><em>Copy/Display Coordinate</em></strong> - This captures coordinates onto the clipboard when the user clicks on the map, using the standard Google Map format or a format specified in <strong><em>Settings</em></strong>. If the user specifies a <strong>Tab*<em> separator, then the coordinate can be pasted into a spreadsheet in separate columns. While this tool is selected, the coordinate the mouse is over is shown in the lower left-hand corner either in <strong>decimal degrees</strong>, <strong>DMS</strong>, <strong>Degrees Minutes</strong>, <strong>MGRS</strong>, <strong>Standard UTM</strong>, <strong>Plus Codes</strong>, <strong>Geohash</strong>, <strong>Maidenhead Grid Locator</strong>, <strong>WKT POINT</strong>, or <strong>GeoJSON</strong> notation depending on the <strong>Settings</strong>. By default it uses the geographic Latitude and Longitude to snapshot the coordinate, but this can be configured in <strong>Settings</strong> to use the project CRS or any other projection desired. See the <strong>Settings</strong> section for more details on the all the possibilities. An additional prefix or suffix can be added to the coordinate and is configured in <strong>Settings</strong>. If snapping is enabled under QGIS </em></strong>Project->Snapping Options...*<em><em> menu, then </em>Copy/Display Coordinate</em> will snap to any close vector vertices according to the parameters set in the snapping options.</p>

The left and right mouse buttons can be configured to show different maps. Currently Open Street Map, Google Maps, MapQuest, Mapillary, Open Street Map iD Editor, and Bing Maps are supported along with Google Earth if it is installed on the system. The desired map that is displayed can be configured in <strong><em>Settings</em></strong> along with additonal user added map services. A temporary marker can be displayed on the map at the location clicked on. To turn this on go to <strong>Settings</strong>. If snapping is enabled, then the clicked location will snap to any close vector vertices according to the parameters set in the snapping options.</p>

It can also zoom to <strong>Geohash</strong> coordinates, amateur radio Maidenhead grid coordinates, or any other projection when configured in <strong>Settings</strong>. The </em></strong>Coordinate Order<strong><em> in </em></strong>Settings<strong><em> dictates whether the order is latitude followed by longitude (Y,X) or longitude followed by latitude (X,Y). By default the order is "Latitude, Longitude", the format used by Google Maps. Pressing the <imgsrc="doc/zoomtool.jpg" alt="Zoom button"> also causes QGIS to zoom to that location.
