Returns true if the two positions are (almost) equal. This ignores the altitude.

public bool EqualPosition (Iot.Device.Common.GeographicPosition position, double delta = 1E-08);

member this.EqualPosition : Iot.Device.Common.GeographicPosition * double -> bool

Public Function EqualPosition (position As GeographicPosition, Optional delta As Double = 1E-08) As Boolean

Parameters

position: GeographicPosition

Position to compare with

delta: Double

Allowed delta, in degrees

Returns

Boolean

True if the two positions are closer than the delta. The default value is around 1cm

Remarks

This does a simple comparison based on the floating point values, it should not be used with large deltas. To get the distance between two positions, use DistanceTo(GeographicPosition, GeographicPosition) instead.
