ILongitudeLatitudeAltitude (IIZI(R) 1.6.0.15561 Java API Specification)

All Superinterfaces:
ILongitudeLatitude
All Known Implementing Classes:
GeoLocation
```
public interface ILongitudeLatitudeAltitude
extends ILongitudeLatitude
```
Interface used for geolocation with longitude, latitude and altitude.
Programming note: DO NOT COMPARE WITH Double.NaN as e.g. value==Double.NaN, use Double.isNaN(double) instead as comparison is always false.

  - getDistance
```
static double getDistance(double longitude1,
                          double longitude2,
                          double latitude1,
                          double latitude2,
                          double altitude1,
                          double altitude2)
```
    Calculate distance between two points in latitude and longitude taking into account height difference. Uses Haversine method as its base.
    Parameters:
    longitude1 - Longitude 1.
    longitude2 - Longitude 2.
    latitude1 - Latitude 1.
    latitude2 - Latitude 2.
    altitude1 - Altitude 1 in meters.
    altitude2 - Altitude 2 in meters.
    Returns:
    Distance in Meters, or Double.NaN if either values are Double.isNaN().
  - getAltitude
```
double getAltitude()
```
    Gets the altitude in meters.
    Returns:
    The altitude, or NaN if not available.
  - getDistance
```
default double getDistance(ILongitudeLatitudeAltitude location,
                           boolean useAltitude)
```
    Gets the distance in meters between this location and another.
    If the altitude is not available in either of the locations, the distance is calculated without altitude.
    Parameters:
    location - The other location.
    useAltitude - Flag to calculate with altitude, if available.
    Returns:
    Distance in meters, Double.NaN if longitude/latitude values are not present.
