Example

pos1 is geoPosition
pos1.Latitude = 1.442951
pos1.Longitude = 43.604363

pos2 is geoPosition
pos2 = GPSGetPosition()

InfoBuild("The direction is %1°", geoAzimuth(pos1, pos2))

pos1 is geoPosition
pos1.Latitude = 1.442951
pos1.Longitude = 43.604363

pos2 is geoPosition
pos2.Latitude = 2.505874
pos2.Longitude = 50.458744

InfoBuild("The direction is %1°", geoAzimuth(pos1, pos2))

Syntax

<Result> = geoAzimuth(<Location 1> , <Location 2>)

<Result>: Real

Direction (in degrees) in relation to the geographical North represented by <Location 2> in relation to <Location 1>, taking the shortest way between the two.

<Location 1>: geoPosition variable

Name of the geoPosition variable corresponding to the first location to compare.

<Location 2>: geoPosition variable

Name of the geoPosition variable corresponding to the second location to compare.

Remarks

If <Location 2> is located to the South of <Location 1>, geoAzimuth returns 180.
The calculation of the direction between the two locations is based on the WGS84 ellipsoid.
