[OSGeo-Discuss] parsing coordinates

[Judit Mays]

hello,

this is not specifically on the matter of parsing different kinds of
notations for geographic coordinates.

But as you were also looking for a remote service doing a similar job, I
would like to point out that deegree offers an application which is
capable to either transform single coordinate pairs to a different
coordinate systems, or to transform all coordinate pairs within a file
(csv, txt) to a chosen coordinate system. The output file may be either
txt, csv, or kml (output as WGS84 only).

You can find the running demo [1] or the sources in svn [2].
A little more detailed description is given at [3].
Feedback is welcome to the developers list of deegree [4].

Kind regards,
Judit Mays
