Crate flinn_engdahl

Implementation of the Flinn-Engdahl seismic and geographical regionalization scheme.

Converts a location (latitude, longitude) into a named region of the world

use flinn_engdahl as fe;
let name = fe::region(-42.448299, 171.214005).unwrap();
assert_eq!(name, "SOUTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND");
