ConvertFrom-GisPoint
SYNOPSIS
Converts Milestone's internal representation of a GPS coordinate to a [System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate] object.
SYNTAX
ConvertFrom-GisPoint [-GisPoint] <String> [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Milestone stores GPS coordinates as X,Y coordinates on a standard coordinate plane. For example, the coordinates 47.25726, -122.51608 are represented in Milestone as "POINT (-122.51608 47.25726)" where the latitude and longitude are reversed. An unset coordinate for a camera is represented as "POINT EMPTY".
This function converts Milestone's GisPoint property string into a [System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate] object which has a ToString() method which will properly format the coordinates. If the coordinates are unset in Milestone, then you will receive the same object but the position will be defined as "Unknown".
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1
Select-Camera | ConvertFrom-GisPoint
Opens a camera selection dialog and pipes the camera to ConvertFrom-GisPoint. The GisPoint parameter accepts the value from the pipeline by property name and the Camera object's coordinates are stored in a property with a matching name.
PARAMETERS
-GisPoint
Specifies the GisPoint value to convert to a GeoCoordinate. Milestone stores GisPoint data in the format "POINT ([longitude] [latitude])" or "POINT EMPTY".
Type: String
