Syntax public LongLat East(
Distance distance
)
Public Function East (
distance As Distance
) As LongLat
Parameters
- distance Distance
- A distance indicating how far East of this
the returned LongLat position should be. (Or how far
West if distance is negative.)
Return Value
LongLatA
LongLat that represents a position the
specified distance East of
this.
Remarks
If distance is negative, the returned LongLat
will represent a position West of this.
Unlike movements North and South, movements East and West are not capped.
In theory one can travel around the earth an infinite number of times,
going only in an easterly direction. However, movements East and West are
essentially meaningless at the two poles since the latitude is fixed at
+90 or -90, which fixes the position to the pole itself.
