FAA formatting for Northern/Southern and Eastern/Western hemisphere designations #542

Open dfoll opened 5 years ago

dfoll commented 5 years ago

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. image Four points have been placed representing all combinations

When trying to change the formatting to use a + sign in front of latitude and longitude only the + for latitude is honored. image image

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 image image

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 .
