National Grid format improvement

Closed this issue · 2 comments

From @BGranberg:

Low priority...

Change presentation of US National Grid to add spaces to the coordinate as follows:

NNA AA NNNNN NNNNN (N = numeric, A = Alpha)

instead of

12TVK0342146014

it should be presented as:

12T VK 03421 46014

Apparently we are presenting it in 'military reference grid' style, not 'US national Grid' style, the latter of which is thought to be easier to read for those who haven't had this drilled into their heads in basic training.

Do we have an enhancement for adding the extent, scale, and base map into
the URL for atlas.utah.gov? If not, please add
