Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Map

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Map.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Map

Declaration

C#

public static double CalculateDistance(
    GeoPoint p1,
    GeoPoint p2
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function CalculateDistance(
    p1 As GeoPoint,
    p2 As GeoPoint
) As Double

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
p1	GeoPoint	The first geographical point.
p2	GeoPoint	The second geographical point.

Returns

Type	Description
Double	The distance in meters.

Remarks

This CalculateDistanceoverload considers the Earth to be a reference ellipsoid (WGS 84) and calculates distance along an ellipsoidal surface.

The following example shows how to use the CalculateDistance method to compute the distance between two points:

C#

double distance = GeoUtils.CalculateDistance(new GeoPoint(36.1, -115.1), new GeoPoint(34, -118.2));

VB.NET

Dim distance As Double = GeoUtils.CalculateDistance(New GeoPoint(36.1, -115.1), New GeoPoint(34, -118.2))
