latlon

A latlon represents a geographical location on Earth in the WGS 84 coordinate system. A latlon is a JSON string of the format:

"lat, lon"
"lat,lon"

where

  • lat - WGS 84 latitude, a floating point number in the range [-90, 90].
  • lon - WGS 84 longitude, a floating point number in the range [-180, 180].

For reasonable precision, both numbers should be given to six decimal places.

Example

{
  "Los Angeles, USA": "34.050908,-118.319753",
  "Auckland, NZ":     "-36.862391, 174.769333"
}
