GeoCoordinate Class

Represents a geographical location that is determined by latitude and longitude coordinates. May also include altitude, accuracy, speed, and course information.

System.Object
  System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate

Namespace:  System.Device.Location
Assembly:  System.Device (in System.Device.dll)
public class GeoCoordinate : IEquatable<GeoCoordinate>

The GeoCoordinate type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method GeoCoordinate() Initializes a new instance of GeoCoordinate that has no data fields set.
Public method GeoCoordinate(Double, Double) Initializes a new instance of the GeoCoordinate class from latitude and longitude data.
Public method GeoCoordinate(Double, Double, Double) Initializes a new instance of the GeoCoordinate class from latitude, longitude, and altitude data.
Public method GeoCoordinate(Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double) Initializes a new instance of the GeoCoordinate class from latitude, longitude, altitude, horizontal accuracy, vertical accuracy, speed, and course.

  Name Description
Public method Equals(GeoCoordinate) Determines if the GeoCoordinate object is equivalent to the parameter, based solely on latitude and longitude.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines if a specified GeoCoordinate is equal to the current GeoCoordinate, based solely on latitude and longitude. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetDistanceTo Returns the distance between the latitude and longitude coordinates that are specified by this GeoCoordinate and another specified GeoCoordinate.
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for the GeoCoordinate. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that contains the latitude and longitude. (Overrides Object.ToString().)

  Name Description
Public operator Static member Equality Determines whether two GeoCoordinate objects refer to the same location.
Public operator Static member Inequality Determines whether two GeoCoordinate objects correspond to different locations.
