Namespace: DegreeDays.Geo
Assembly: DegreeDays (in DegreeDays.dll) Version: 1.4
Syntax
public LongLat West(
	Distance distance
)

Parameters

distance  Distance
A distance indicating how far West of this the returned LongLat position should be. (Or how far East if distance is negative.)

Return Value

LongLat
A LongLat that represents a position the specified distance West of this.
Remarks

If distance is negative, the returned LongLat will represent a position East 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 westerly 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.
