From the geographic latitude and longitude, the 6-digit locator can be calculated.

Conversely, the 6-digit locator can be used to calculate the geographical latitude and longitude.

If your computer has a GPS receiver, the latitude and longitude as well as the locator can be calculated from the data.

Note: If you use the 6-digit locator the calculated position is exactly only ±1.25′ in the latitude and only ±2,5′ in the longitude. This corresponds in Germany with ±2,82 km in latitude and with about 2,85 km in longitude.
