Degrees decimal minutes as return format?

New feature suggestion:

Instead of useDMS:false, what about passing in an array of one or more output formats. Multiple formats would stack in the order passed in.

{format: ['dms']} would be like useDMS:true currently returns {format: ['ddm']} would be a new format... most GPSs use this format and probably most human readable (if you're not a programmer) {format: ['dd']} would be like useDMS:false currently returns

{format: ['dms', 'ddm', 'dd']} would stack all three of them in the output container

degrees minutes seconds output Lat: 40° 26′ 46″ N, Lon: 79° 58′ 56″ W degrees decimal minutes output Lat: 40° 26.767′ N, Lon: 79° 58.933′ W decimal degrees output Lat: 40.446, Lon: -79.982

You mean display them all at once? I don´t know if I like that, but the DDM format would definetly be useful.

Well, an option to display more than one format depending on what is passed in with the format array. I guess my thought was it's not much extra work/code to offer the option to pass in or return more than one format.

While the vast majority would probably still pass in only a single format, I can see this combo being useful. L.control.coordinates({ format: ['ddm', 'dd'] }).addTo(map);

A new way to pass in formats would break backwards compatibility, but it also opens things up to offer a few more formats down the road like Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and military grid reference system (MGRS)

Thanks for the consideration.

Easy enough to detect if it's passed as a value, or a list. Shouldn't break backwards compatibility.
