Oceanic coordinates

This is actually a request for a future ES version. For oceanic controlling it's important that Euroscope can interpret oceanic positions. Not all formats are recognized by Euroscope. To what I've seen in flight plans all of these need to be recognized:

 

Latitude: 31

Longitude: -50

 

 

31N050W

3150N

3100N05000W

3100N05000W

N31W050

Miguel,

 

Some of them are segistered in the TODO list. I will extend that list with yours and check the possibilities. The one with space more or less surely will not be implemented and the space is a separator in the route itself.

I know. I did an oceanic controller [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istant for our airspace and had to normalize the routes. I had to do a special regexp search in order to replace these types of coordinates:

 

IF

([0-9]{4,4})(N|S)(\s+)([0-9]{5,5})(W|E)

THEN

# p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] and correct format, eg: 3800N 04000W to 3840N
