GeoCoordinate Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents a location expressed as a geographic coordinate. The values exposed by this class use the WGS 84 standard.
Assembly: System.Device (in System.Device.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.
The GeoCoordinate type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | GeoCoordinate() | Initializes a new instance of the GeoCoordinate class where the value of each field is not a number. |
| GeoCoordinate(Double, Double) | Initializes a new instance of the GeoCoordinate class with the provided latitude and longitude. |
| GeoCoordinate(Double, Double, Double) | Initializes a new instance of the GeoCoordinate class with the provided latitude, longitude, and altitude. |
| GeoCoordinate(Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double) | Initializes a new instance of the GeoCoordinate class with the provided latitude, longitude, altitude, accuracy, speed, and course. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Altitude | Gets or sets the altitude of the GeoCoordinate in meters. |
| Course | Gets or sets the heading in degrees, relative to true north. GeoCoordinate. |
| HorizontalAccuracy | Gets or sets the horizontal accuracy of the GeoCoordinate, in meters. |
| IsUnknown | Gets a value indicating whether the GeoCoordinate contains any geographic coordinate data. |
| Latitude | Gets or sets the latitude of the GeoCoordinate. |
| Longitude | Gets or sets the longitude of the GeoCoordinate. |
| Speed | Gets the speed of the GeoCoordinate in meters per second. |
| VerticalAccuracy | Gets or sets the vertical accuracy of the GeoCoordinate, in meters. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(GeoCoordinate) | Determines whether the specified GeoCoordinate has the same latitude and longitude values as this one. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is a GeoCoordinate that has the same latitude and longitude values as this one. (Overrides Object::Equals(Object).) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetDistanceTo | Returns the calculated distance, in meters, from the current GeoCoordinate to the provided GeoCoordinate. |
| GetHashCode | Returns a hash code for this instance. (Overrides Object::GetHashCode().) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string representation of the current GeoCoordinate. (Overrides Object::ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | Equality | Determines whether two GeoCoordinate objects are equal. |
| Inequality | Determines whether two GeoCoordinate objects are not equal. |
