I'll try to get that done ASAP

Until this is done, is it possible to reverse the output order for latitude and longitude in the XML file?

I'll explain:
Your example file (http://www.hostip.info/api/get.XML?ip=12.215.42.19) outputs the coordinates in the format:

Code: Select all

<gml:coordinates>-88.4588,41.7696</gml:coordinates>

which means the coordinates are in the form (Longitude,Latitude) - a reverse order of the common output. This creates problems, such as when entering these coordinates into map services. Google Maps, for example, will output these coordinates' location as somewhere near Antarctica.

Is this order random, or is it there because of necessity? If it isn't, I think that many users will appreciate if you reverse it.

Thanks!

Hello again,
I just looked at the Google Maps API, and it turns out that they use the same order that I just critiqued.
So I take my words back.

Sorry!

I thought this was the GML spec, if anyone knows otherwise, please post
