Computes an angle between the Geodetic North direction and a line given by two points, clockwise in degrees.

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraMap

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraMap.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Win.Map

Declaration

• C#
• VB.NET

public static double CalculateBearing(
    GeoPoint p1,
    GeoPoint p2
)

Public Shared Function CalculateBearing(
    p1 As GeoPoint,
    p2 As GeoPoint
) As Double

Parameters

The first geographical point.

| | p2 | GeoPoint |

The second geographical point.

Returns

The bearing in degrees.

|

Remarks

Note that the perpendicular line to the Geodetic North is plotted from the first point.

The code below calculates the bearing by two geographical points.

• C#
• VB.NET

double bearing = GeoUtils.CalculateBearing(new GeoPoint(36.1, -115.1), new GeoPoint(35.9, -115.9));

Dim bearing As Double = GeoUtils.CalculateBearing(New GeoPoint(36.1, -115.1), New GeoPoint(35.9, -115.9))
