Make sure exiftool is executable. if you have to install it manually on linux you can try ./scripts/install_exiftool.sh

Functions

getDistance(lng1, lat1, lng2, lat2)

Calculate distance of 2 given points

• lng1 longitude of point 1 in decimal degrees
• lat1 latitude of point 1 in decimal degrees
• lng2 longitude of point 2 in decimal degrees
• lat2 latitude of point 2 in decimal degrees

getTotalDistance(points)

Calculate total distance of a serial of points

• points array of point, example

  [{lat: 59.19288511388004, lng: 17.66255029477179 },{ lat: 59.19290036894381, lng: 17.662896132096648 }]

getBoundingBox(lat, lng, distance)

• lat latitude of the center, in decimal degrees.
• lng longitude of the center, in decimal degrees.
• distance radius that spans the bounding box, in meters.

return an array containing 2 points that represent the bounding box.

getMidPoint(points)

• points list of coordinate, each point with properties lat and lng

return Object/point with lat and lng

toDMS(decDegrees)

Convert decimal degrees to degrees, minutes and seconds (return an object)

getDMSLatitude(decDegrees)

Return a string representation in DMS format, ie 59° 19' 59.88" N

Return a string representation in DMS format, ie 18° 3' 0" E

toDD(degrees, minutes, seconds)

Convert to decimal degrees
