Simplify Latitude and Longitude #46

Open Privacywonk opened 4 years ago

Privacywonk commented 4 years ago

Currently there are multiple config items that use Lat and Long related to a spot:

NOAA ERDDAP Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and DarkSky both use Lat/Lon pairs to access data.

ERDDAP is more sensitive to fidelity of lat/lon and may sometimes return a null sea surface temperature. DarkySky is less fussy and will return the nearest forecast data...

Based on options for global tide data, that will also use Lat/Long to pull data.

SO...standardize for config and directions.

Proposed: spotLat - Latitude spotLong - Longitude

These coordinates will then be used to access DarkySky, ERDDAP, and Tide data...hopefully. Needs testing and error case discovery.
