Public Function SurfacePosition ( 
	initial As Cartographic,
	heading As Double,
	distance As Double
) As Cartographic

Cartographic SurfacePosition(
	Cartographic initial, 
	double heading, 
	double distance
)

member SurfacePosition : 
        initial : Cartographic * 
        heading : float * 
        distance : float -> Cartographic

Parameters

initial: Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesCartographic
The initial planetodetic surface point.
heading: Type: SystemDouble
The initial heading.
distance: Type: SystemDouble
The surface distance separating the two surface points.

Return Value

Type: Cartographic
The planetodetic location of the second surface coordinate.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
UnsupportedCaseException	The scalene case of a geodesic ellipsoid is not currently modeled and will be in a future release.

Remarks

Since the distance is measured on the surface of the ellipsoid, the height coordinate information is ignored.
