Validate Lat/Long Service

Utility function for validating a point's geographic latitude and longitude given in decimal degrees for use against the Reach Address Database (RAD). The default horizontal datum for RAD use is NAD83. If a horizontal datum of NAD27 or WGS84 is provided, the service will convert the given latitude and longitude to NAD83 and return these converted values.
