## Example

<details>
<summary>Run Convert co-ordinate format</summary>

Converts geographical coordinates between different formats. Adjust optional parameters when the defaults do not match your payload.

1. Set **Input** to the value to transform (previous step output or a literal).

2. Review **Input Format**, **Input Delimiter**, **Output Format**, **Output Delimiter**, **Include Compass Directions**, and other options and keep defaults unless your format requires otherwise.

3. Confirm **Output value** shows the transformed result.
