Maidenhead Locator, Lat Lon coordinate convertor
Project description
Maidenhead <-> Lat/Lon
maidenhead
provides a simple, yet effective location hashing algorithm.
Maidenhead allows global location precision down to 750m
Maidenhead provides 4 levels of increasing accuracy
Level | Precision |
---|---|
1 | World |
2 | Regional |

4 | City |
Install
pip install maidenhead
or for development version
git clone https://github.com/space-physics/maidenhead
pip install -e maidenhead
Examples
All examples assume first doing
import maidenhead as mh
lat lon to Maidenhead locator
mh.to_maiden(lat, lon, level)
returns a char (len = lvl*2)
Maidenhead locator to lat lon
mh.to_location('AB01cd')
takes Maidenhead location string and returns top-left lat, lon of Maidenhead grid square.
Command Line
The command line interface takes either decimal degrees for "latitude longitude" or the Maidenhead locator string:
maidenhead 65.0 -148.0
BP65aa
maidenhead BP65aa12
65.0083 -147.9917
Alternatives
We also have Maidenhead conversion for Julia.
Open Location Codes a.k.a Plus Codes are in Python code by Google.
