Use proper decimal degree notation for specifying coordinates #56

Closed mfreeborn closed 2 years ago

Currently, we use a sort of hybrid version of decimal degrees which specifies N/S/E/W using letters (e.g. --latitude 51.47N --longitude 3.1W)

Proper decimal degree notation instead encodes the compass heading based on the numerical sign: positive is north and east, whilst negative is south and west. (e.g. --latitude 51.47 --longitude -3.1).
