Properties

Accuracy

Gets or sets the horizontal accuracy (in meters) of the location.

Altitude

Gets the altitude in meters (if available) in a reference system which is specified by AltitudeReferenceSystem.

AltitudeReferenceSystem

Specifies the reference system in which the Altitude value is expressed.

Course

Gets or sets the current degrees relative to true north at the time when this location was determined.

IsFromMockProvider

Gets or sets whether this location originates from a mocked sensor and thus might not be the real location of the device.

Latitude

Gets or sets the latitude coordinate of this location.

Longitude

Gets or sets the longitude coordinate of this location.

ReducedAccuracy

Gets or sets whether this location has a reduced accuracy reading.

Speed

Gets or sets the current speed in meters per second at the time when this location was determined.

Timestamp

Gets or sets the timestamp of the location in UTC.

VerticalAccuracy

Gets or sets the vertical accuracy (in meters) of the location.
