Detailed Description¶

A QGeoCoordinate is defined by latitude, longitude, and optionally, altitude.

Use type() to determine whether a coordinate is a 2D coordinate (has latitude and longitude only) or 3D coordinate (has latitude, longitude and altitude). Use distanceTo() and azimuthTo() to calculate the distance and bearing between coordinates.

The coordinate values should be specified using the WGS84 datum. For more information on geographical terms see this article on coordinates and another on geodetic systems including WGS84.

Azimuth in this context is equivalent to a compass bearing based on true north.

This class is a Q_GADGET since Qt 5.5. It can be directly used from C++ and QML .

Constructs a coordinate. The coordinate will be invalid until setLatitude() and setLongitude() have been called.

Constructs a coordinate with the given latitude and longitude .

If the latitude is not between -90 to 90 inclusive, or the longitude is not between -180 to 180 inclusive, none of the values are set and the type() will be InvalidCoordinate .

isValid()

Constructs a coordinate with the given latitude , longitude and altitude .

If the latitude is not between -90 to 90 inclusive, or the longitude is not between -180 to 180 inclusive, none of the values are set and the type() will be InvalidCoordinate .

Note that altitude specifies the meters above sea level.

isValid()

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.CoordinateType¶

Defines the types of a coordinate.

Constant	Description
QGeoCoordinate.InvalidCoordinate	An invalid coordinate. A coordinate is invalid if its latitude or longitude values are invalid.
QGeoCoordinate.Coordinate2D	A coordinate with valid latitude and longitude values.
QGeoCoordinate.Coordinate3D	A coordinate with valid latitude and longitude values, and also an altitude value.

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.CoordinateFormat¶

Defines the possible formatting options for toString() .

Constant	Description
QGeoCoordinate.Degrees	Returns a string representation of the coordinates in decimal degrees format.
QGeoCoordinate.DegreesWithHemisphere	Returns a string representation of the coordinates in decimal degrees format, using ‘N’, ‘S’, ‘E’ or ‘W’ to indicate the hemispheres of the coordinates.
QGeoCoordinate.DegreesMinutes	Returns a string representation of the coordinates in degrees-minutes format.
QGeoCoordinate.DegreesMinutesWithHemisphere	Returns a string representation of the coordinates in degrees-minutes format, using ‘N’, ‘S’, ‘E’ or ‘W’ to indicate the hemispheres of the coordinates.
QGeoCoordinate.DegreesMinutesSeconds	Returns a string representation of the coordinates in degrees-minutes-seconds format.
QGeoCoordinate.DegreesMinutesSecondsWithHemisphere	Returns a string representation of the coordinates in degrees-minutes-seconds format, using ‘N’, ‘S’, ‘E’ or ‘W’ to indicate the hemispheres of the coordinates.

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.altitude()¶

Return type: double

Returns the altitude (meters above sea level).

The return value is undefined if the altitude has not been set.

setAltitude() type()

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.atDistanceAndAzimuth(distance, azimuth[, distanceUp=0.0])¶

Parameters

distance – qreal
azimuth – qreal
distanceUp – qreal

Return type

QGeoCoordinate

Returns the coordinate that is reached by traveling distance meters from the current coordinate at azimuth (or bearing) along a great-circle. There is an assumption that the Earth is spherical for the purpose of this calculation.

The altitude will have distanceUp added to it.

Returns an invalid coordinate if this coordinate is invalid.

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.azimuthTo(other)¶

Parameters: other – QGeoCoordinate
Return type: qreal

Returns the azimuth (or bearing) in degrees from this coordinate to the coordinate specified by other . Altitude is not used in the calculation.

The bearing returned is the bearing from the origin to other along the great-circle between the two coordinates. There is an assumption that the Earth is spherical for the purpose of this calculation.

Returns 0 if the type of this coordinate or the type of other is InvalidCoordinate .

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.distanceTo(other)¶

Parameters: other – QGeoCoordinate
Return type: qreal

Returns the distance (in meters) from this coordinate to the coordinate specified by other . Altitude is not used in the calculation.

This calculation returns the great-circle distance between the two coordinates, with an assumption that the Earth is spherical for the purpose of this calculation.

Returns 0 if the type of this coordinate or the type of other is InvalidCoordinate .

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.isValid()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if the longitude and latitude are valid.

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.latitude()¶

Return type: double

Returns the latitude, in decimal degrees. The return value is undefined if the latitude has not been set.

A positive latitude indicates the Northern Hemisphere, and a negative latitude indicates the Southern Hemisphere.

setLatitude() type()

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.longitude()¶

Return type: double

Returns the longitude, in decimal degrees. The return value is undefined if the longitude has not been set.

A positive longitude indicates the Eastern Hemisphere, and a negative longitude indicates the Western Hemisphere.

setLongitude() type()

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.__ne__(other)¶

Parameters: other – QGeoCoordinate
Return type: bool

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.__eq__(other)¶

Parameters: other – QGeoCoordinate
Return type: bool

Returns true if the latitude, longitude and altitude of this coordinate are the same as those of other .

The longitude will be ignored if the latitude is +/- 90 degrees.

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.setAltitude(altitude)¶

Parameters: altitude – double

Sets the altitude (meters above sea level) to altitude .

See also

altitude()

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.setLatitude(latitude)¶

Parameters: latitude – double

Sets the latitude (in decimal degrees) to latitude . The value should be in the WGS84 datum.

To be valid, the latitude must be between -90 to 90 inclusive.

latitude()

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.setLongitude(longitude)¶

Parameters: longitude – double

Sets the longitude (in decimal degrees) to longitude . The value should be in the WGS84 datum.

To be valid, the longitude must be between -180 to 180 inclusive.

longitude()

PySide2.QtPositioning.QGeoCoordinate.toString([format=DegreesMinutesSecondsWithHemisphere])¶

Parameters: format – CoordinateFormat
Return type: unicode

Returns this coordinate as a string in the specified format .

For example, if this coordinate has a latitude of -27.46758, a longitude of 153.027892 and an altitude of 28.1, these are the strings returned depending on format :

`format` value	Returned string
`Degrees`	-27.46758°, 153.02789°, 28.1m
`DegreesWithHemisphere`	27.46758° S, 153.02789° E, 28.1m
`DegreesMinutes`	-27° 28.054’, 153° 1.673’, 28.1m
`DegreesMinutesWithHemisphere`	27° 28.054 S’, 153° 1.673’ E, 28.1m
`DegreesMinutesSeconds`	-27° 28’ 3.2”, 153° 1’ 40.4”, 28.1m
`DegreesMinutesSecondsWithHemisphere`	27° 28’ 3.2” S, 153° 1’ 40.4” E, 28.1m

The altitude field is omitted if no altitude is set.

If the coordinate is invalid, an empty string is returned.
