GeoUtils.CalculateBearing(GeoPoint, GeoPoint) Method

Computes an angle between the Geodetic North direction and a line given by two points, clockwise in degrees.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraMap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraMap.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public static double CalculateBearing(
    GeoPoint p1,
    GeoPoint p2
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function CalculateBearing(
    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 bearing in degrees.

Remarks

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

The code below calculates the bearing by two geographical points.

C#

double bearing = GeoUtils.CalculateBearing(new GeoPoint(36.1, -115.1), new GeoPoint(35.9, -115.9));

VB.NET

Dim bearing As Double = GeoUtils.CalculateBearing(New GeoPoint(36.1, -115.1), New GeoPoint(35.9, -115.9))
