- Method Detail
  - create
```
static EarthLocation create(double lat,
                            double lon,
                            double alt)
```
    Standard way to create an EarthLocation.
  - getLatitude
```
double getLatitude()
```
    Returns the latitude in some unit. The unit is very likely decimal degrees north, but we don't enforce that anywhere.
    
    Returns:
    
    the latitude in some unit.
  - getLongitude
```
double getLongitude()
```
    Returns the longitude in some unit. The unit is very likely decimal degrees east, but we don't enforce that anywhere.
    
    Returns:
    
    the longitude in some unit.
  - getAltitude
```
double getAltitude()
```
    Returns the altitude in some unit.
    
    Returns:
    
    the altitude in some unit. A value of Double.NaN indicates "no altitude".
  - getLatLon
```
LatLonPoint getLatLon()
```
    Get the lat/lon location
    
    Returns:
    
    lat/lon location
  - isMissing
```
boolean isMissing()
```
    Are either lat or lon missing?
    
    Returns:
    
    true if lat or lon is missing
