Methods

DirectionTo(GeographicPosition, GeographicPosition)	Calculates the initial angle to travel to get to another position. Calculates on the great circle, therefore the direction to the target is not constant along the path
DistanceTo(GeographicPosition, GeographicPosition)	Calculate the distance to another position
MoveBy(GeographicPosition, Angle, Length)	Move a certain distance into a direction. Where do I end?
NormalizeLongitudeTo180Degrees(GeographicPosition)	Normalizes the longitude to +/- 180° This is the common form for displaying longitudes. NormalizeLongitudeTo360Degrees(GeographicPosition) is used when the area of interest is close to the date border (in the pacific ocean)
NormalizeLongitudeTo360Degrees(GeographicPosition)	Normalizes the longitude to [0..360°) This coordinate form is advised if working in an area near the date border in the pacific ocean.
