FAA formatting for Northern/Southern and Eastern/Western hemisphere designations
dfoll opened this issue · comments
Background
An issue was logged to support FAA formatting for DMS. This issue is being opened to fully support FAA formatting.
Functionality was delivered by @CTLocalGovTeam to satisfy #468 however in that issue there is no explanation of how Northern/Southern and Eastern/Western hemispheres are supported.
Current Behavior
Delivered and accepted work supports #468 however when using this formatting N/S and E/W hemispheres are not designated.
Four points have been placed representing all combinations
- N/W
- N/E
- S/W
- S/E
however note that they all appear as positive values.
When trying to change the formatting to use a + sign in front of latitude and longitude only the + for latitude is honored.
both of these highlighted points should have a negative or nothing for longitude because they are Western hemisphere yet they both show + for longitude.
or
when using the + at the end it is treated as a static character that is inserted
Expected behavior
Further research is needed into how Western and Southern longitudes should be handled.
At the time of writing this issue, this is the research that was taken from #468 .
