Map search using coordinates

By
To address a need expressed by Bastien, who is part of the team improving cave information, Paul has released a new feature on the map. You can now enter coordinates and view the corresponding point. Here are the coordinate systems you can use and examples for testing: WGS84 decimal: 45.1179, 5.4786 Decimal with cardinal/degree symbol: 45.1179° N, 5.4786° E DMS: 45° 7' 4.6" N, 5° 28' 43" E DDM: N 45° 07.066 E 005° 28.717 Lambert 93 (EPSG:2154): 843000, 6450000 (X/Y order or inverted) Lambert III cartography (EPSG:27573): 722000, 3165000 (X/Y order or inverted)
