Readme
A Javascript function for reading a variety of coordinate formats and converting to decimal numbers. Builds on other efforts for convenience by returning the verbatim coordinates and the decimal coordinates all in one object.
parseCoordsString = require('geo-coordinate-parser');
let coords = parseCoordsString('40° 26.7717, -79° 56.93172');
coords.decimalLatitude; // 40.446195 ✓
coords.decimalLongitude; // -79.948862 ✓
coords.verbatimLatitude; // '40° 26.7717' ✓
coords.verbatimLongitude; // '-79° 56.93172' ✓
The returned object includes properties verbatimCoordinates, verbatimLatitude, verbatimLongitude, decimalLatitude, decimalLatitude, and decimalCoordinates.
