```
- Method Detail
  - getLatitude
```
public double getLatitude()
```
    Returns the latitude component of this coordinate. Positive values indicate northern latitude and negative values southern latitude.
    
    The latitude is given in WGS84 datum.
    
    Returns:
    
    the latitude in degrees

```
  - setLongitude
```
public void setLongitude(double longitude)
```
  - getLongitude
```
public double getLongitude()
```
    Returns the longitude component of this coordinate. Positive values indicate eastern longitude and negative values western longitude.
    
    The longitude is given in WGS84 datum.
    
    Returns:
    
    the longitude in degrees

  - setAltitude
```
public void setAltitude(double altitude)
```
  - getAltitude
```
public double getAltitude()
```
    Altitude above mean sea level.
    
    Returns:
    
    the altitude
  - azimuthTo
```
public double azimuthTo(Coordinates to)
```
    Calculates the azimuth between the two points according to the ellipsoid model of WGS84. The azimuth is relative to true north.
    
    The Coordinates object on which this method is called is considered the origin for the calculation and the Coordinates object passed as a parameter is the destination which the azimuth is calculated to.
    
    The azimuth (in degrees) increases clockwise. On this coordinate system, north is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and west is 270 degrees.
    
    When the origin is the North pole and the destination is not the North pole, this method returns 180.0. When the origin is the South pole and the destination is not the South pole, this method returns 0.0. If the origin is equal to the destination, this method returns 0.0.
    
    The implementation shall calculate the result as exactly as it can. However, it is required that the result is within 1 degree of the correct result.
  - convert
```
public static java.lang.String convert(double coordinate,
                                       int outputType)
                                throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    UNTESTED as of April 7, 2009 - BB / /** Converts a double representation of a coordinate with decimal degrees into a string representation. There are string syntaxes supported are the same as for the #convert(String) method. The implementation shall provide as many significant digits for the decimal fractions as are allowed by the string syntax definition.
    
    Parameters:
    
    coordinate - a double representation of a coordinate
    
    outputType - identifier of the type of the string representation wanted for output The constant DD_MM_SS identifies the syntax 1 and the constant DD_MM identifies the syntax 2.
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of the coordinate in a representation indicated by the parameter
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the outputType is not one of the two constant values defined in this class or if the coordinate value is not within the range [-180.0, 180.0) or is Double.NaN

  - convert
```
public static double convert(java.lang.String coordinate)
                      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                             java.lang.NullPointerException
```
    Converts a String representation of a coordinate into the double representation as used in this API. There are two string syntaxes supported:
    1. Degrees, minutes, seconds and decimal fractions of seconds. This is expressed as a string complying with the following BNF definition where the degrees are within the range [-179, 179] and the minutes and seconds are within the range [0, 59], or the degrees is -180 and the minutes, seconds and decimal fractions are 0:
    coordinate = degrees ":" minutes ":" seconds "." decimalfrac | degrees ":" minutes ":" seconds | degrees ":" minutes
    degrees = degreedigits | "-" degreedigits
    degreedigits = digit | nonzerodigit digit | "1" digit digit
    minutes = minsecfirstdigit digit
    seconds = minsecfirstdigit digit
    decimalfrac = 1*3digit
    digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9"
    nonzerodigit = "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9"
    minsecfirstdigit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5"
    
    2. Degrees, minutes and decimal fractions of minutes. This is expressed as a string complying with the following BNF definition where the degrees are within the range [-179, 179] and the minutes are within the range [0, 59], or the degrees is -180 and the minutes and decimal fractions are 0:
    coordinate = degrees ":" minutes "." decimalfrac | degrees ":" minutes
    degrees = degreedigits | "-" degreedigits
    degreedigits = digit | nonzerodigit digit | "1" digit digit
    minutes = minsecfirstdigit digit
    decimalfrac = 1*5digit
    digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9"
    nonzerodigit = "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9"
    minsecfirstdigit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5"
    For example, for the double value of the coordinate 61.51d, the corresponding syntax 1 string is "61:30:36" and the corresponding syntax 2 string is "61:30.6".
    
    Parameters:
    
    coordinate - a String in either of the two representation specified above
    
    Returns:
    
    a double value with decimal degrees that matches the string representation given as the parameter
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the coordinate input parameter does not comply with the defined syntax for the specified types
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the coordinate string is null convert
  - distance
```
public double distance(Coordinates to)
```
    Calculates the geodetic distance between the two points according to the ellipsoid model of WGS84. Altitude is neglected from calculations. The implementation shall calculate this as exactly as it can. However, it is required that the result is within 0.36% of the correct result.
    
    Parameters:
    
    to - the point to calculate the geodetic to
    
    Returns:
    
    the distance in meters
