GeoTrans 3.2 and GeographicLib (GeoConvert -n) give
33UVP0500444998 -> 13.72028E 48.25107N
33UXP0500444998 -> 16.41449E 48.24949N
42SWC5522406275 -> 69.59450E 33.49457N
42EWC5522406275 -> 69.90386E 56.78416S

so it looks as though some of your problems are switched letters
in the MGRS codes.

Subject: [MetaCRS] Proj4js MGRS conversion Geodectic

I'm trying to convert MGRS to WGS 84 Geodetic Output Coordinate System.  The example in the test\mgrs.js works like I expect.  Some MGRS don't provide the values I expect.  Am I missing something?

Thanks Chris
========================================================================

If I use Geotrans, for MGRS "33UVP0500444998", I get 16.41449 for Lon and 48.24949 Lat.

If I use Proj4js.Point.fromMGRS("33UVP0500444998"), I get point.x.toPrecision(7) = 16.41449 and point.y.toPrecision(7) = 48.24949

If I use Geotrans, for MGRS "42SWC5522406275", I get  for Lon 69.59450 and  Lat. 33.49458

If I use Proj4js.Point.fromMGRS("42SWC5522406275"), I get point.x.toPrecision(7) =  69.90387 and point.y.toPrecision(7) = -56.78416
