LatLng

Represents a geographical point with a certain latitude and longitude.

Usage example

var latlng = L.latLng(50.5, 30.5);

All Leaflet methods that accept LatLng objects also accept them in a simple Array form and simple object form (unless noted otherwise), so these lines are equivalent:

map.panTo([50, 30]);
map.panTo({lon: 30, lat: 50});
map.panTo({lat: 50, lng: 30});
map.panTo(L.latLng(50, 30));

Creation

Factory Description
L.latLng(<Number> latitude, <Number> longitude, <Number> altitude?) Creates an object representing a geographical point with the given latitude and longitude (and optionally altitude).
L.latLng(<Array> coords) Expects an array of the form [Number, Number] or [Number, Number, Number] instead.
L.latLng(<Object> coords) Expects a plain object of the form {lat: Number, lng: Number} or {lat: Number, lng: Number, alt: Number} instead.

Methods

Method Returns Description
equals(<LatLng> otherLatLng, <Number> maxMargin?) Boolean

Returns true if the given LatLng point is at the same position (within a small margin of error). The margin of error can be overriden by setting maxMargin to a small number.

toString() String

Returns a string representation of the point (for debugging purposes).

distanceTo(<LatLng> otherLatLng) Number

Returns the distance (in meters) to the given LatLng calculated using the Haversine formula.

wrap() LatLng

Returns a new LatLng object with the longitude wrapped so it's always between -180 and +180 degrees.

toBounds(<Number> sizeInMeters) LatLngBounds

Returns a new LatLngBounds object in which each boundary is sizeInMeters meters apart from the LatLng.
