DICTIONARY =

!! A series of values that are used to unify geographic name strings *for display* (e.g. generating print). These ultimately all belong somewhere else, and are arbitrary decisions made by TaxonWorks collaborators.

SPECIAL_LATLONG_SYMBOLS =

To add a new (discovered) symbol:

1) To find the Unicode string for any character, use Utilities::Geo.uni_string('c') (remove the first '\').
2) Add the Unicode string (i.e, "\uNNNN") to SPECIAL_LATLONG_SYMBOLS (below), selecting either degrees
    (starting with 'do*'), or tickmarks (starting at "'").
3) Add the Unicode to the proper section in the regexp in the corresponding section (degrees, minutes, or seconds).
    NB: all the minutes symbols are duplicated in the seconds section because sometimes two successive tickmarks
        (for minutes) are used for seconds.

degree symbols, in addition to 'd', 'o', and '*'
\u00b0  "°"  \u00ba  "º"  \u02da  "˚"  \u030a  "?"  \u221e "∞"  \u222b "∫"

that is not zero and ending with the last digit farthest to the right that is either not zero

  # note that cameras follow specifications, but EXIF data can be edited manually and may not follow specifications.

  # check if gps data is in d m s (could be edited manually)

  # Altitude should be based on reference of sea level
  # GPSAltitudeRef is 0 for above sea level, and 1 for below sea level

  # From discussion with Jim -
  # create a utility library called "GeoConvert" and define single method
  # that will convert from degrees min sec to decimal degree
  # - maybe 2 versions? - one returns string, other decimal?
