from Latitude Longitude Or Null
Parses a coordinate in latitude-longitude notation, and returns a Point representing that location. The coordinate may use decimal degrees, degrees and decimal minutes, or degrees, minutes, and seconds format. The spatial reference provided must have an ellipsoid and datum matching those used by the source of the latitude-longitude string. If no spatial reference is provided, it is assumed the latitude-longitude coordinates are referenced to WGS 84.
