Can I get the GPS coordinate in Revit?

Question

Can I get any GPS position in Revit?

Suppose I had set the survey point to {25.039549, 121.560771} and set project base point on the survey point. If I want to know where is the {25.100000, 121.60000} in Revit project coordinate, how can I mapping it?

The Revit project coordinates are always in imperial feet, like all Revit database length units.

The Building Coder discusses some aspects of GPS coordinate conversion for Mobile Device Room Location.

So it's simpler than I thought. The coordinate relative to project base point is in project coordinates. (no Transform required).

XYZ  coord_to_proj_base  =  loc.Point.Subtract( project )
