public static double CalculateBearing(
    GeoPoint p1,
    GeoPoint p2
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
p1 GeoPoint

The first geographical point.

p2 GeoPoint

The second geographical point.

Returns

Type Description
Double

The bearing in degrees.

Remarks

Note that the perpendicular line to the Geodetic North is plotted from the first point.
