Gregorian to Mayan Calendar Converters
Fourmi lab’s Calendar Converter:
in public domain - developed and maintained by John Walker, founder of Autodesk, Inc. and co-author of AutoCAD. This site also converts Gregorian dates to Hebrew, Islamic, Bahai and other calendar systems. For the Mayan conversions, it uses the Julian date correlation number that is the archeological standard, the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson (GMT) correlation number 584,283 that is also used in the Orbital Calendar.

Careful, Mr Van Laningham seems to prefer the alternate 584,285 correlation number so the default is set to that; but you can easily change the last digit to GMT 584,283.
