The class generates a (random) set of coordinates in the common Swiss LV95 system within the borders of Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
It also supports WSG84 and the obsolete LV03 coordinate system. The class can also be used to check if existing coordinates are within CH or FL.
The Swiss coordinate system (or Swiss grid) is a geographic coordinate system used in Switzerland and Liechtenstein for maps and surveying by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography (Swisstopo).
