lib/services/import/coordinate-parser

Provides utility functions for parsing geographic coordinates from various string formats.

This module contains a set of helper functions designed to interpret different representations of coordinate data that might be found in imported files. It supports common formats such as:

  • Decimal Degrees (e.g., "40.7128")
  • Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS) (e.g., "40°26'46"N")
  • Coordinates with a directional suffix (e.g., "40.7128 N")

The main export, parseCoordinate, attempts to parse a value using these different strategies, returning a standardized decimal degree number if successful.
