Geo::Direction::Name - Transform direction name and degree each other.
use Geo::Direction::Name;

# Get dierction name from degree
print $dobj->to_string(11.250); # N
print $dobj->to_string(236.250); # SW
# You can get long name by setting abbreviation option to 0 (1 is default)

print $dobj->to_string(236.250,{abbreviation => 0}); # Southwest
# You can get more precision name by setting devide option (4, 8, 16 or 32. 8 is default)

# Create direction degree from name

# Use other locale (default: en_US)

Geo::Direction::Name transforms direction name and direction in degree each other. It can also manage many locales, but now supports only en_US, ja_JP and ko_KR.
Old interface (Backward compatible). Return the Geo::Direction::Name object. LOCALE is optional, default is "en_US".
New interface. OPTION is hash reference, could be set two values. Default specification is used.
Set original spec name if want. If not set, use default specification.
Set locale.
Transform direction DEGREE to direction name in specified locale. OPTION is optional hash reference, could be set two values.
If set this value to 0, you can get long name of direction (like 'North', 'Northeast by east' ...). Default is 1.
Set how many parts to devide 360 degrees. You can set only 4, 8, 16 or 32. Default is 8.
After version 0.0.4, you can set other deviding number by using non-default specification.
Transform direction name (STRING) to direction degree by specified locale.
