The Coordinates
interface represents the position and altitude of the device on Earth, as well as the accuracy with which these properties are calculated.
Properties
The Coordinates
interface doesn't inherit any property.
Coordinates.latitude
Read only- Returns a
double
representing the position's latitude in decimal degrees. Coordinates.longitude
Read only- Returns a
double
representing the position's longitude in decimal degrees. Coordinates.altitude
Read only- Returns a
double
representing the position's altitude in metres, relative to sea level. This value can benull
if the implementation cannot provide the data. Coordinates.accuracy
Read only- Returns a
double
representing the accuracy of thelatitude
andlongitude
properties, expressed in meters. Coordinates.altitudeAccuracy
Read only- Returns a
double
representing the accuracy of thealtitude
expressed in meters. This value can benull
. Coordinates.heading
Read only- Returns a
double
representing the direction in which the device is traveling. This value, specified in degrees, indicates how far off from heading true north the device is.0
degrees represents true north, and the direction is determined clockwise (which means that east is90
degrees and west is270
degrees). Ifspeed
is0
,heading
isNaN
. If the device is unable to provideheading
information, this value isnull
. Coordinates.speed
Read only- Returns a
double
representing the velocity of the device in meters per second. This value can benull
.
Methods
The Coordinates
interface neither implements, nor inherits any method.
