Kriegsmarine quadrant converter ?!

12-01-11, 02:23 PM

Moin moin!

During my relaxed brig time I was into searching something that would convert coordinates to kriegsmarine grids.

All I've found was this: http://www.ubootwaffe.net/quadrant.cgi

Sadly it doesn't cover whole area of Atlantic ocean.

Any where I might get lucky finding FULL working converter ?

No problem here. Shared fun doubles twice

oh BTW, it lacks of accuracy when you try to convert coordinates to grid. While I was testing it, no matter what is the coordinate, it will give you the very middle of any quadrant. Say AM 2355, DH 3655, AK 1455, you get the point.

I believe it does one way conversion only: quadrant to coordinates.

Exactly how precise do you need to be? The four-digit coordinate was the smallest they had.

True, but what I ment to say was no matter what coordinates you input, this converter always points to very center of any Grid, so last two digits are always say DH**55 AK**55, etc.. Not sure why does it work this way though.
