Direction.BearingIntoTurn Property

Direction.BearingIntoTurn Property

The compass angle of the route traveling toward the LatLong property. For example, given an instruction in which you are traveling due east along a road, your BearingIntoTurn property value upon reaching the subsequent direction would be 270.0. Valid range is 0.0 through 360.0, indicating the angle of the bearing. Angle is clockwise from north (north is 0.0 or 360.0). Single.
