Description
The Extract Lat/Lon from Geo Point activity parses geographic coordinate values from a column containing geo point strings — typically in the format (latitude, longitude) — and separates them into two new columns: one for latitude and another for longitude.
Use case:
Useful when working with address datasets, location-tracked records, or mapping systems that store coordinates in a single field. This activity allows for easier geospatial filtering, distance calculations, or visualization on maps.
