Expected Results:
- What did you expect to happen?
Create an MGRS object near the Poles. Example: AQE 33377 29769
Using the GEOTrans utility/source code, this value can be parsed as valid MGRS
Observed Results:
- What happened instead?
MGRS.parse() throws a ParseException - How often does this occur?
Anytime a valid location near the poles is used, it fails the regex in use^(\\d{1,2})([C-HJ-NP-X])(?:([A-HJ-NP-Z][A-HJ-NP-V])((\\d{2}){0,5}))?$
Output:
- Any logs, errors, or output messages?
ParseException("Invaliid MGRS")
Steps to Reproduce:
- Try to parse an MGRS string that represents a location at the poles
- ParseException
Relevant Code:
MGRS mgrs = MGRS.parse("AQE3337729769");Test Files:
- Links to any files needed for testing?
Additional Information:
- Any additional configuration, data, or information that might help with the issue?
MGRS uses UPS project to cover the poles, where A|B cover the South Pole, and Y|Z cover the North Pole. I didn't see references to ups in the source for this project. Are there plans to add support for the poles?
