[Xastir] USNG Support

[Curt Mills]

There are two areas in Xastir that have USNG:

One is under File->Configure->Coordinate System.

The other is the Map->Coordinate Calculator. This can also be brought
up from the Object/Item Create menu from right-clicking on the map. If
you put a coordinate into the calculator in UTM or lat/long it will
spit out 6 different coordinates including MGRS/USNG when you hit the
"Calculate" button. If you originally brought it up from the "Create
Object/Item" menu then the "OK" button will paste the coordinate into
your object/item you're creating.

I created an Android app that is similar to the Coordinate Calculator
as well. Not open-source though. We use it in the local SAR.
