[Qgis-user] New Coordinate Conversion Tool in Lat Lon Tools

[C Hamilton]

Mike,

Thank you for your comments. Lat Lon Tools defaults to the (lat, lon) order
but that can be changed in the settings. ESRI uses the lon,lat order and it
seems like most everyone else uses the lat,lon order.

I don't think the QGIS coordinate display can be changed although perhaps
the developer team should consider making that an option. There is a reason
some of us, including myself, prefer the lat,lon order.

In Lat Lon Tools, if you select the "Copy Latitude, Longitude" tool, it
will display the coordinate in the bottom bar in the lat,lon order or the
order of your choice. Of course if you click on the map it will also copy
it to the clipboard.

For your need for the DMS to be in the format of "442220N086111W" I will
add a separate setting just for that format that specifies the delimiter
and if it is blank then it will be like you want.

I welcome any other input that would improve this tool.
