```

## Quick Start

### Basic Coordinate Usage

```python
from gps_tools import Coordinate

# Create coordinates
nyc = Coordinate(40.7128, -74.0060, name="New York")
sf = Coordinate(37.7749, -122.4194, name="San Francisco")

# Access properties
print(f"NYC is at {nyc.latitude}°N, {abs(nyc.longitude)}°W")
# Output: NYC is at 40.7128°N, 74.006°W

# String representation
print(nyc)
# Output: New York: 40.7128°N, 74.0060°W
```

### Distance Calculations

```python
from gps_tools import Coordinate
from gps_tools.distance import haversine_distance, vincenty_distance, bearing

# Create coordinates
nyc = Coordinate(40.7128, -74.0060, name="New York")
london = Coordinate(51.5074, -0.1278, name="London")

# Calculate distances
haversine_dist = haversine_distance(nyc, london)
vincenty_dist = vincenty_distance(nyc, london)
bearing_val = bearing(nyc, london)

print(f"Haversine distance: {haversine_dist/1000:.1f} km")
print(f"Vincenty distance: {vincenty_dist/1000:.1f} km")
print(f"Bearing from NYC to London: {bearing_val:.1f}°")
```

### Coordinate Conversions

```python
from gps_tools.converters import latlon_to_utm, utm_to_latlon, latlon_to_mgrs, mgrs_to_latlon

# Convert from lat/lon to UTM
lat, lon = 40.7128, -74.0060  # NYC
zone_number, zone_letter, easting, northing = latlon_to_utm(lat, lon)
print(f"UTM: {zone_number}{zone_letter} {easting:.1f}E {northing:.1f}N")
# Output: UTM: 18T 583959.4E 4507351.0N

# Convert from UTM back to lat/lon
lat2, lon2 = utm_to_latlon(zone_number, zone_letter, easting, northing)
print(f"Back to lat/lon: {lat2:.6f}, {lon2:.6f}")
# Output: Back to lat/lon: 40.712800, -74.006000

# Convert to MGRS
mgrs = latlon_to_mgrs(lat, lon)
print(f"MGRS: {mgrs}")
# Output: MGRS: 18TFR8395907350

# Convert from MGRS back to lat/lon
lat3, lon3 = mgrs_to_latlon(mgrs)
print(f"From MGRS: {lat3:.6f}, {lon3:.6f}")
# Output: From MGRS: 40.712800, -74.006000
```

### Advanced Operations

```python
from gps_tools import Coordinate, CoordinateList
from gps_tools.calculations import calculate_path_distance, calculate_centroid, calculate_bbox

# Create a path of coordinates
path = CoordinateList([
    Coordinate(40.7128, -74.0060, name="New York"),
    Coordinate(39.9526, -75.1652, name="Philadelphia"),
    Coordinate(38.9072, -77.0369, name="Washington DC")
])

# Calculate total path distance
total_distance = calculate_path_distance(path.coordinates)
print(f"Total path distance: {total_distance/1000:.1f} km")
# Output: Total path distance: 328.3 km

# Find the centroid
centroid = calculate_centroid(path.coordinates)
print(f"Centroid: {centroid}")
# Output: Centroid: 39.8575°N, 75.4027°W

# Calculate bounding box
sw, ne = calculate_bbox(path.coordinates)
print(f"SW corner: {sw}")
print(f"NE corner: {ne}")
```
