How to convert Grid coordinates to Lat and Long and wiseversa?

[Arashenstein]

Hi,

I have started using JTACs a lot lately but I have an issue that some aircrafts do not have Grid input and in some situations the Lat/long info is more useful than Grid (like programming a SLAMER), but I have no idea how to convert one to another, is there any ingame tool to do this or any formula that I can use?

On the F10 map there's the coordinates in your preferrd format on the upper left corner. Just click on that and it cycles through the different formats. Long Lat, Long Lat dec, MGRS, etc

I made a tool for that.

if you get your coordinates from the F10 map, you can also use LAlt + LMB to bring up a window of the coordinate where you clicked in every format.

As a bonus that window even stays open if you go back to cockpit view.
