### __init__ (self, lat, lon, height=0, datum=None, name='') (Constructor) |
Create a spherical `LatLon` point frome the given lat-, longitude and height on the given datum. Arguments: `lat` - Latitude (`degrees` or DMS `[N|S]`). `lon` - Longitude (`degrees` or DMS `str[E|W]`). `height` - Optional elevation (`meter`, the same units as the datum's half-axes). `datum` - Optional, spherical datum to use (Datum, Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid2, a_f2Tuple) or `scalar` earth radius). `name` - Optional name (string). Returns: New instance (`LatLon`). Raises: `TypeError` - If `datum` invalid or not not spherical. Overrides: object.__init__ Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(51.4778, -0.0016)  # height=0, datum=Datums.WGS84

### bearingTo2 (self, other, wrap=False, raiser=False) |
Return the initial and final bearing (forward and reverse azimuth) from this to an other point. Arguments: `other` - The other point (`LatLon`). `wrap` - Wrap and unroll longitudes (`bool`). `raiser` - Optionally, raise CrossError (`bool`). Returns: A Bearing2Tuple`(initial, final)`. Raises: `TypeError` - The `other` point is not spherical. See Also: Methods `initialBearingTo` and `finalBearingTo`.

### finalBearingTo (self, other, wrap=False, raiser=False) |
Return the final bearing (reverse azimuth) from this to an other point. Arguments: `other` - The other point (spherical `LatLon`). `wrap` - Wrap and unroll longitudes (`bool`). `raiser` - Optionally, raise CrossError (`bool`). Returns: Final bearing (compass `degrees360`). Raises: `TypeError` - The `other` point is not spherical. Example:
    >>> p = LatLon(52.205, 0.119)
    >>> q = LatLon(48.857, 2.351)
    >>> b = p.finalBearingTo(q)  # 157.9

### maxLat (self, bearing) |
Return the maximum latitude reached when travelling on a great circle on given bearing from this point based on Clairaut's formula. The maximum latitude is independent of longitude and the same for all points on a given latitude. Negate the result for the minimum latitude (on the Southern hemisphere). Arguments: `bearing` - Initial bearing (compass `degrees360`). Returns: Maximum latitude (`degrees90`). Raises: `ValueError` - Invalid `bearing`. JS name: maxLatitude.

### minLat (self, bearing) |
Return the minimum latitude reached when travelling on a great circle on given bearing from this point. Arguments: `bearing` - Initial bearing (compass `degrees360`). Returns: Minimum latitude (`degrees90`). Raises: `ValueError` - Invalid `bearing`. See Also: Method maxLat for more details. JS name: minLatitude.

### parse (self, strllh, height=0, sep=',', name='') |
Parse a string representing a similar, spherical `LatLon` point, consisting of `"lat, lon[, height]"`. Arguments: `strllh` - Lat, lon and optional height (`str`), see function pygeodesy.parse3llh. `height` - Optional, default height (`meter`). `sep` - Optional separator (`str`). `name` - Optional instance name (`str`), overriding this name. Returns: The similar point (spherical `LatLon`). Raises: `ParseError` - Invalid `strllh`.

Arguments: `distance` - Distance travelled (`meter`, same units as `radius`). `bearing` - Bearing from this point (compass `degrees360`). `radius` - Mean earth radius (`meter`). `height` - Optional height, overriding the default height (`meter`, same unit as `radius`).
