By default, convert the HK80 location to WGS84/ITRF96

require 'hk_geo' result = HkGeo::Converter.convert("835352.749", "815640.774")

["22.457521648", "113.976469709"]

You may specify other conversion

require 'hk_geo' result = HkGeo::Converter.convert("835352.749", "815640.774", HkGeo::SYSTEM_HK80, HkGeo::SYSTEM_ITRF96, HkGeo::UNIT_DM)

["22.2745130", "113.5858818"]

Use two coordinate to find the route between

data = HkGeo::RouteFinder.route("22.445663383,113.983328736", "22.444075388,113.984268260")
