This software encodes and decodes latitude and longitude coordinates in degree format to and from other formats.
One of the key benefits of using Geo::Formatter is its ability to offer a multitude of formatting options that are optimized for precision and readability. The module comes with three main functions, which include latlng2format, format2latlng, and alias_format.
By using the latlng2format function, users can easily encode latlong in various formats. For example, it's possible to encode degree format with six digits under the decimal point or signed degree format with four digits under the decimal point. Additionally, the 'zerofill' option can be used to format DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) with zero-filled digits and zero digits under the decimal point in the second part.
On the other hand, the format2latlng function can be utilized to decode various formats into latlong. For example, users can decode DMS format effortlessly.
Lastly, the alias_format function can be used to create custom formats and aliases. Users can define alternative names for existing formats and customize encoding/decoding behaviors.
Overall, Geo::Formatter is an excellent tool for encoding and decoding latlong in versatile formats. Its clear and user-friendly interface makes it an accessible option for software developers of all levels. The module can be extended to incorporate various other formats with the help of Geo::Formatter::Format::XXX type modules.
