UTM using incorrect zone identifier

[adgiles]

If you expand the coordinate parts for a UTM coordinate the Zone is using the UTM Hemisphere Band (N or S) not the UTM Band:

This needs to be verified.

@kgonzago @jmccausland I do not see anything showing the user to pick utm zone band or hemi based on output. Can someone help me with this? I just do not understand this issue and how we fixed it.

We need to provide clarity on this issue.

Tested this on build 4 ArcGIS Pro 2.1 and it is no longer an issue.

This needs to be removed from the known issues, http://solutions.arcgis.com/defense/help/coordinate-conversion/resources/release-notes.htm before the closing label can be applied. Removing the E-verified label until this is addressed in the documentation.

NGA has a caution: "... CAUTION: IN MANY SYSTEMS, THE LETTER AFTER THE ZONE NUMBER DESIGNATES A LATITUDINAL BAND, NOT A HEMISPHERE. ..." http://earth-info.nga.mil/GandG/coordsys/grids/utm.html That indicates to me that NGA has a preference for Hemisphere Zone, not a Latitudinal Band method.

At first I was thinking that we should go off of what NGA states, but their documentation shows that they support both, but with a warning from one. Checking how ArcGIS Pro does it I found that they use bands and we are using bands in our addin. I feel like this issue should be closed and we can readdresss this if a customer comes back to share this same issue.

There are no documentation tasks that I feel like need to be done on this issue.

To follow on with @topowright comment, the reason we are not going to list this as an issue addressed is that it should never have been listed as a known issue in the first place
