#Coordinates Parser

phpgeo comes with a parser for several types of coordinate formats. The parser works as a factory which creates an instance of the Coordinate class.

#Supported Formats

Decimal Degrees with or without cardinal letters, with or without a comma as separator, with or without whitespace between values and cardinal letters.

Examples of supported formats:

• 52.5, 13.5
• 52.5 13.5
• -52.5 -13.5
• 52.345 N, 13.456 E
• N52.345 E13.456

Decimal Minutes with or without cardinal letters, with or without degree and minute signs, with or without a comma as separator, with or without whitespace between values and cardinal letters.

Examples of supported formats:

• 345, E13° 34.567
• 45′ N, E13° 34.567′ E
• 5, 013 34.567
• 45, -013 34.567

The unit test shows some more examples.

#Example

use Location\Factory\CoordinateFactory;
use Location\Formatter\Coordinate\DecimalDegrees;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$point = CoordinateFactory::fromString('52° 13.698′ 020° 58.536′');

echo $point->format(new DecimalDegrees());

The code above produces the output below:

  52.22830 20.97560
