yes, i know, that's what i do, it's easy, but the coordinates do change
- sometimes there is more characters, sometimes less... and i only
always find out the hard way of seeing a bug when travelling to an
area of coordinates that are out of my filters :)... therefore i was
looking for a ready to use converter :)

will check the gdal thing
