# Ordnance Survey vs. The World

This little gem converts from the Bristish Ordnance Survey's own

easting/northing OSGB-36 coordinates to the WGS-84 latitude/longitude

we have come to know and love (and is used thoroughly in GPS,

Google Maps and all that stuff).

# How to use

    require 'ordnance_survey_vs_the_world'

    easting = 531182

    northing = 182409

    gr = OrdnanceSurveyVsTheWorld::OSGridRef.new(easting, northing)

    ll = gr.to_latlon

    ll.lat # =>  51.5248579430871

    ll.lon # => -0.108828758467826

# Why the long names?

Was feeling like it.
