If I produce a list of c-squares, is there an easy way to represent the equivalent area/s on a map?
Yes, the present CMAR c-squares mapper has been constructed for this purpose. It accepts any valid string of c-squares as a web call (for example from an HTML form with the relevant form action), along with additional variables such as “title”, “legend”, etc., and will return an HTML page with a “best fit” map displaying the requested squares, together with the supplied title and legend. It is also possible to plot multiple strings on the same map; change maps to any of a range of options; enlarge the map; and create active maps, with “click-on-a-square” functionality – for relevant information, see the “about-mapper” page. It is also possible that other tools to display c-squares on base maps may be created by individual developers to suit other specific needs or client groups in the future.
