 **Geodesy** is a Julia package for working with points in various world and
 local coordinate systems. The primary feature of *Geodesy* is to define and
 perform coordinate transformations in a convenient and safe framework,

 ## Quick start
 
 Lets define a 3D point by its latitude, longitude and altitude (LLA):
