The "Krovák" map projection is the national grid of the former Czechoslovakia. It is an Oblique Conformal Conic one, which is unique among the world's national grids.

Majster is a MS Excel table that allows you to convert UTM, Soviet-type Gauss-Krüger and Krovák coordinates. You can enter your input in any of the listed projections and will be given the result in both other systems.

Notice: I've written it for my amusement - you can use it free, without any restriction. Distribute it freely but if you put it to your website, please place a link to this site, too.
Please, drop me a mail: timar@ludens.elte.hu with your new version if you modify the table.
I don't speak neither Czech nor Slovakian so if you translate this page to those language, I'd happily place them beside the English version.
