A set of Python tools using geolocation coordinates.
GeoLocation : Class to represent a coordinate on a sphere (most likely Earth). This code was ported to Python directly from http://janmatuschek.de/LatitudeLongitudeBoundingCoordinates, and is owned by Jan Philip Matuschek.
- Instantiating:
loc1 = GeoLocation.from_degrees(26.062951, -80.238853)
loc2 = GeoLocation.from_radians(loc1.rad_lat, loc1.rad_lon)
assert (loc1.rad_lat == loc2.rad_lat and loc1.rad_lon == loc2.rad_lon
and loc1.deg_lat == loc2.deg_lat and loc1.deg_lon == loc2.deg_lon)- Distance between instantiated GeoLocation and another GeoLocation
loc1 = GeoLocation.from_degrees(26.062951, -80.238853)
loc2 = GeoLocation.from_degrees(26.060484,-80.207268)
assert loc1.distance_to(loc2) == loc2.distance_to(loc1)- Box that bounds a GeoLocation by a given distance (represented as a SW location and a NE location). All points within the given distance to the GeoLocation are contained in the box.
loc = GeoLocation.from_degrees(26.062951, -80.238853)
distance = 1 # 1 kilometer
SW_loc, NE_loc = loc.bounding_locations(distance)
print loc.distance_to(SW_loc)
print loc.distance_to(NE_loc)
