       gcoord=mag2geo(mcoord)
Input Parameters
       mcoord = a 2-element array of magnetic [latitude,longitude], or an
                array [2,n] of n such coordinates.
Keyword Parameters
               None
Output Parameters
       a 2-element array of geographic [latitude,longitude], or an array [2,n]
            of n such coordinates
Common Blocks
               None
Example
       IDL> gcoord=mag2geo([90,0])       ; coordinates of magnetic south pole
       IDL> print,gcoord
