More About »
GeoDestination
GeoDestination
gives the geodetic position reached by going distance
d
in azimuthal direction
from
pos
.
MORE INFORMATION
The distance
d
is given in meters; the azimuthal direction
is the angle from true north measured in degrees.
The position
pos
in
GeoDestination
can be given as
, or as a
GeoPosition
,
GeoPositionXYZ
,
GeoPositionENU
, or
GeoGridPosition
object.
GeoDestination
finds the destination on the reference ellipsoid associated with the datum for
pos
. Heights are ignored.
GeoDestination
gives the latitude-longitude destination for the default reference ellipsoid.
GeoDestination
solves the geodetic direct or forward problem.
The algorithm used by
GeoDestination
can be specified by setting
Method
or
Method
.
