GPSLookup
GPSLookup is a module that takes an address, and returns a GPS coordinate and a map.Previously, it was written with libcurl and parsed street-directory.com.au and auslig.
It would be cool to do it without so many references on external sites which are outside of our control, because if they change/break, so does our script.
So we need to code functions:
- Throw an address at NowWhere?Route & parse the results
- Convert WGS84 to ADG86 (may include intemediate steps)
What would also be cool is if, at the same time we can parse Street-Directory for the Melways Map coordinates, and throw them in a database. Once we collect enough data we can start working with them.
