Introduction

What does it do?

The extension converts spatial geo coordinates (latitude and longitude) from the degree notation to other output formats with the help of a Fluid view helper.

Example:

<cc:coordinateConverter
   latitude="49.487111"
   longitude="8.466278"
   outputFormat="degreeMinutesSeconds"
 />

The result is:

N 49° 29' 13.59960", E 8° 27' 58.60080"

Currently supported are the formats:

  • Degree
  • Degree with minutes
  • Degree with minutes and seconds
  • UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator)
