Syntax public LongLat West(
Distance distance
)
Public Function West (
distance As Distance
) As LongLat
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
LongLatA
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.
