# Convert mixed GPS coordinate formats

**Use case:** 

Normalize a mixed batch of decimal-degree, DMS, and DDM GPS coordinates into consistent map-ready latitude and longitude fields.

## Input

```json
{
  "coordinates": [
    "40.7128, -74.0060",
    "51° 30′ 26.64″ N, 0° 7′ 39.12″ W",
    "33° 51.528′ S, 151° 12.558′ E"
  ],
  "coordinateOrder": "auto",
  "outputPrecision": 6,
  "includeInvalid": true,
  "maxItems": 20
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Bulk GPS Coordinate Format Converter](https://apify.com/automation-lab/bulk-gps-coordinate-format-converter.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/automation-lab/bulk-gps-coordinate-format-converter.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
