GeoSphere

Compute distances, parse coordinates, etc. for Pharo

Currently GeoSphere:

• Parses string coordinates
• Calculates the distance between coordinates
• Opens OpenStreetMap at the receiver's coordinates

Examples of string formats that can be parsed:

• 144.61025 @ -38.28697
• 38° 17′ 13.09″ S, 144° 36′ 36.9″ E
• 38 deg 17' 13.09" S, 144 deg 36' 36.9" E
