This module implements the grid reference scheme for [[Canada]]'s [[National Topographic System]]. It contains functions that will determine the NTS map sheet ID for a given set of coordinates, as well as the name of the map sheet. The database of map sheet names can be found in [[Module:Canada NTS/data]], and is sourced directly from [[Natural Resources Canada]]'s [https://atlas.gc.ca/toporama/en/index.html Toporama] page.<br />
<br />
Functions:<br />
*''grid'': Calculates and displays the NTS map sheet ID.<br />
*''name'': Displays the name of the NTS map sheet.<br />
<br />
These two functions can be called from the same invoke.<br />
<br />
Optional parameters:<br />
*lat=''lat'', where ''lat'' is a north latitude in decimal degrees.<br />
*lon=''lon'', where ''lon'' is a west longitude in decimal degrees.<br />
*''link'': Wraps the NTS map sheet ID in a link to a visualizer on Natural Resources Canada's website.<br />
*''area'': Omits the 1:50,000 scale map sheet number, giving a 1:250,000 scale map area ID.<br />
<br />
If ''lat'' and ''lon'' are omitted, the module will fetch its coordinates from the Wikidata item corresponding to the article in which its invoke has been transcluded.<br />
