Distance

Example

The following example demonstrates how to obtain the distance from a target coordinate using ellipsoidal earth calculations.
C#
Coordinate coord = new Coordinate(25,25);
Coordinate target = new Coordinate(28, 30);

//Get distance from target using ellipsoidal calculations
Distance d = coord.Get_Distance_From_Coordinate(target, Shape.Ellipsoid);

Console.Writeline(d.Kilometers); //599.002436777727
