[OpenMap Users] Bug parsing MGRS String

Hi,

I come across a problem that is possibly a bug in MGRSPoint class.

 From my understanding and javadoc in zone_number field, the number must
be between 1 to 60. But passing the MGRS string with 3 digit zone number
pass the construction just fine.

Sample test data: 477PMN300400

The problem seems to come from line 397 in MGRSPoint.java:

       // get Zone number
       while (!Character.isLetter(testChar = mgrsString.charAt(i))) {
           if (i > 2) {
               throw new NumberFormatException("MGRSPoint bad conversion
from: "
                       + mgrsString);
           }
           sb.append(testChar);
           i++;
       }

the if statement should be
if ( i >=2 ) {

to only allow 2 digit.


OpenMap version 4.6.3.

Regards,

Vairoj
