I also do a lot of GIS stuff and I might actually use this in the future.

I agree it is pretty niche. It might be nice to support non-WGS84 coordinates

You mean DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) as input?
sure, or meters. These are common projections:

- EPSG:3857 Web Mercator

- EPSG:6933 https://nsidc.org/data/user-resources/help-center/guide-ease...

- UTM

You could just support Web Mercator, if normal or swapped are not valid coordinates, assume Web Mercator and check if they are valid coordinates. If they are swapped it will still be in the general area even if the projection is not exactly matching

Good and useful idea, I added DMS input now.
