Thank you for Windy app! I enjoy it very much!</p>
<p dir="auto">I found the following symptoms. And may I ask you kindly for improvements here?</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Symptom 1:</strong><br />
Entered or pasted coordinates are not recognised if they contain special typographic characters such as typographic apostrophes.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Symptom 2:</strong><br />
Coordinates are not recognised if a required comma is missing or an additional comma is present.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use cases</strong></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use case 1.1:</strong><br />
Open the OSMAND app.<br />
Select a location.<br />
Copy the coordinates in DMS format within OSMAND.<br />
Open the Windy app on an Android device.<br />
Open the search function and paste the copied coordinates from the clipboard.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use case 1.2:</strong><br />
Open the Windy web app in the Firefox browser on a notebook.<br />
Open the search function and paste the copied coordinates containing typographic apostrophes.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use Case 1 Expected Results:</strong><br />
The coordinates should be recognised correctly.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use Case 1 Actual Results:</strong><br />
The coordinates are not recognised.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use case 2.1:</strong><br />
Enter coordinates in DMS, DMM or DD format in the Windy app search function, omitting a required comma or inserting an additional comma.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use case 2.2:</strong><br />
Enter coordinates in DMS, DMM, or DD format into the Windy web app search function in the Firefox browser on a laptop, omitting a required comma or inserting an additional comma.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use Case 2 Expected Results:</strong><br />
The coordinates should be recognised correctly.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use Case 2 Actual Results:</strong><br />
The coordinates are not recognised.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Root cause for symptom 1</strong><br />
I found out that the root cause for symptom 1 is probably the character encoding of the copied coordinates.<br />
When I changed the copied coordinates to ASCII/ANSI then the coordniates will be recognized by Windy.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Summary:</strong><br />
The input and insertion of coordinates in the search function should be both character set-independent and comma-independent in order to enable the problem-free transfer of coordinates from other applications.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Versions used:</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Windy app version 42.5.3 on Samsung Android<br />
Windy web application version 43.0.0 in the Firefox browser version 130.0 on a notebook<br />
OsmAnd+ app version 4.8.6</p>
<p dir="auto">I have not checked it on other mobile devices.</p>

I agree, inserting  in DMS is very tricky specially in the mobile app, iOS for instance.</p>
