  Description     : Convert geo coordinates to/from mapcodes

A mapcode represents a location. Every location on Earth can be
represented by a mapcode. Mapcodes were designed to be short, easy to
recognise, remember and communicate. They are precise to a few meters,
which is good enough for every-day use. Locations in densely populated
areas often get shorter mapcodes. See http://www.mapcode.com/

This package contains a command line utility that can convert to and
from mapcodes.


The source also builds a static library. If there is demand, this could
later be put into a separate binary package (maybe as a dynamic lib).
