Mathematica provides state-of-the-art high-precision geodesy computation, supporting all standard datums and projections.
FromDMS — convert from degrees, minutes, and seconds to decimal degrees
DMSString,
DMSList — convert from decimal degrees to degrees-minutes-seconds form
Latitude,
Longitude,
LatitudeLongitude — extract latitude, longitude
Degree (
°) — conversion factor from radians to degrees (entered as
Esc deg Esc)
GeoPosition — geodetic position specified by latitude and longitude
GeoGridPosition — projected position in a cartographic grid
GeoDistance — distance between geodetic positions
GeoDirection — azimuthal direction between geodetic positions
GeoDestination — position at a given distance and direction from a point
GeodesyData — data on reference ellipsoids and geodetic datums
GeoProjectionData — data on cartographic projections
CityData,
CountryData — give latitude, longitude of cities, countries (in degrees)
AstronomicalData — computable data on planets, stars, moons, etc.
$GeoLocation — settable current geodetic location
FindGeoLocation — try to find the current location using GPS, geoIP, etc.
