                                           LatLon

An ellipsoidal LatLon similar to ellipsoidalVincenty.LatLon but using Charles F. F. Karney's Python GeographicLib to compute the geodesic distance, initial and final bearing (azimuths) between two given points or the destination point given a start point and an initial bearing.

Note: This LatLon's methods require the GeographicLib package.

Method Details

### bearingTo2(self, other, wrap=False) |
Compute the initial and final bearing (forward and reverse azimuth) from this to an other point, using Karney's `Inverse` method. See methods initialBearingTo and finalBearingTo for more details. Parameters: `other` - The other point (LatLon). `wrap` - Wrap and unroll longitudes (`bool`). Returns: A Bearing2Tuple`(initial, final)`. Raises: `ImportError` - Package geographiclib not installed or not found. `TypeError` - The `other` point is not LatLon. `ValueError` - If this and the `other` point's Datum ellipsoids are not compatible.

### destination(self, distance, bearing, height=None) |
Compute the destination point after having travelled for the given distance from this point along a geodesic given by an initial bearing, using Karney's `Direct` method. See method destination2 for more details. Parameters: `distance` - Distance (`meter`). `bearing` - Initial bearing in (compass `degrees360`). `height` - Optional height, overriding the default height (`meter`, same units as `distance`). Returns: The destination point (LatLon). Raises: `ImportError` - Package geographiclib not installed or not found. Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(-37.95103, 144.42487)
    >>> d = p.destination(54972.271, 306.86816)

### destination2(self, distance, bearing, height=None) |
Compute the destination point and the final bearing (reverse azimuth) after having travelled for the given distance from this point along a geodesic given by an initial bearing, using Karney's `Direct` method. The distance must be in the same units as this point's datum axes, conventionally meter. The distance is measured on the surface of the ellipsoid, ignoring this point's height. The initial and final bearing (forward and reverse azimuth) are in compass degrees. The destination point's height and datum are set to this point's height and datum. Parameters: `distance` - Distance (`meter`). `bearing` - Initial bearing (compass `degrees360`). `height` - Optional height, overriding the default height (`meter`, same units as `distance`). Returns: A Destination2Tuple`(destination, final)`. Raises: `ImportError` - Package geographiclib not installed or not found. Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(-37.95103, 144.42487)
    >>> d, f = p.destination2(54972.271, 306.86816)
    >>> d
    LatLon(37°39′10.14″S, 143°55′35.39″E)  # 37.652818°S, 143.926498°E
