Inherited Properties

length

Gets or sets the length of the array. This is a number one higher than the highest element defined in an array.

Methods

areEqual(Position, Position, number)	Compares the longitude and latitude values of two positions to see if they are equal at an accuracy of 6 decimal places.
fromLatLng(number, number, number)	Generates a Position object from latitude and longitude values.
fromLatLng(number[])	Generates a Position object from an array that has the format; [lat, lng] or [lat, lng, elv]
fromLatLng(object)	Generates a Position object from an object that contains coordinate information. The object is scanned for the following properties using a case insensitive test. Longitude: lng, longitude, lon, x Latitude: lat, latitude, y Elevation: elv, elevation, alt, altitude, z
fromLatLngs(Array<object \| number[]>)	Converts an array of objects that contain coordinate information into an array of Positions. Objects that can't be converted are discarded. Each object is either an array in the format; [lat, lng] or [lat, lng, elv], or an object with the any combination of the following properties: Longitude: lng, longitude, lon, x Latitude: lat, latitude, y Elevation: elv, elevation, alt, altitude, z
