You could be interested to support ICAO-style coordinates format:
see my implementation at https://trrrj.ansperformance.eu/reference/parse_lat_icao.html

Feel free to [ab|mis]use 😉 docs/code.
HTH.

thanks for opening the issue @espinielli

So ICAO is the format used by all pilots?

That format is used in AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication), see for example Heathrow's charts.

I think that pilots and air traffic controllers have a different phraseology to spell coordinates out on the radio channel.

Thanks, who uses these AIP reports/charts? Just curious as to the use case

All kind of people/systems: pilots, ATC (indirectly because the data is coming to their screens via support systems that "digest" what is published in the AIPs), Aircraft Operators (via Flight Planning systems)...

okay, thanks - does sound like a significant use case.

I'm planning to submit this through our ropensci review system. I'll probably wait until after that's done to attempt this, but i may try it out on a branch soon
