Regular expression for matching latitude/longitude coordinates?

This one will strictly match latitude and longitude values that fall within the correct range:

^[-+]?([1-8]?\d(\.\d+)?|90(\.0+)?),\s*[-+]?(180(\.0+)?|((1[0-7]\d)|([1-9]?\d))(\.\d+)?)$

Matches

• +90.0, -127.554334
• 45, 180
• -90, -180
• -90.000, -180.0000
• +90, +180
• 47.1231231, 179.99999999

Doesn't Match

• -90., -180.
• +90.1, -100.111
• -91, 123.456
• 045, 180

I am using these ones (decimal format, with 6 decimal digits):

Latitude

^(\+|-)?(?:90(?:(?:\.0{1,6})?)|(?:[0-9]|[1-8][0-9])(?:(?:\.[0-9]{1,6})?))$

Longitude

^(\+|-)?(?:180(?:(?:\.0{1,6})?)|(?:[0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-7][0-9])(?:(?:\.[0-9]{1,6})?))$

Here is a gist that tests both, reported here also, for ease of access. It's a Java TestNG test. You need Slf4j, Hamcrest and Lombok to run it:

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;
import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.*;

import java.math.RoundingMode;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

@Slf4j
public class LatLongValidationTest {

    protected static final String LATITUDE_PATTERN="^(\\+|-)?(?:90(?:(?:\\.0{1,6})?)|(?:[0-9]|[1-8][0-9])(?:(?:\\.[0-9]{1,6})?))$";
    protected static final String LONGITUDE_PATTERN="^(\\+|-)?(?:180(?:(?:\\.0{1,6})?)|(?:[0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-7][0-9])(?:(?:\\.[0-9]{1,6})?))$";

        Double latitudeToTest = -90.0;

        while(latitudeToTest <= 90.0){

            log.info("Latitude: tested {}. Result (matches regex): {}", df.format(latitudeToTest), result);
            assertThat(result, is(true));
            latitudeToTest += step;
        }
