coordinateFormatter fail when use DMS

geopamplona — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 14:26:08 GMT

Hi,

I using "coordinateFormatter" to translate string coordinates to point.

When try convert coordinates to point i get null. Syntax of coordinates seem correct.

I using:

require([ "esri/geometry/coordinateFormatter" ], function(coordinateFormatter ) { coordinateFormatter.load().then(function() { var point = coordinateFormatter.fromLatitudeLongitude("55°56′39″N 3°09′43″W"); console.log(point) }); });

Hi there,

Thanks for reporting this issue. We have created an issue for this and I will be sure to update you once we address it. In meantime, you can replace degree character/° to * as shown below: This should work.

`55*56'39"N 3*09'43"W`

Hi there,

The fix for this issue will be included at version 4.20 which will be released late June, 2021.

You can test the fix on our `next` version. Here is a test app that shows the new supported characters for CoordinateFormatter.fromLatitudeLongitude: https://codepen.io/U_B_U/pen/XWMdPPZ
