Inner Drive Extensible Architeture

The Inner Drive Extensible Architecture implements common .NET development situations including time zones, money, measurements and conversions, and Microsoft Azure features.

InnerDrive.Geography

Features

• Includes fundamental geography concepts as first-class structures
• Simple methods for calculating distance and direction between geographical points
• Astronomy classes to predict sun and moon events

Prerequisites

This package runs on .NET 10. It depends on these packages:

• InnerDrive.Core
• InnerDrive.Quantitative
• InnerDrive.TimeZones

Usage

Find the distance and bearing between two points:

// 40°42'47"N 74°00'47"W, 11.0 m
var origin = new Node(
	new Latitude(40d, 42d, 47d),
	new Longitude(-74d, 0d, 47d),
	11d.Meters()
);
// 41°52'44"N 87°38'09"W, 181.0 m 
var destination = new Node(
	new Latitude(41d, 52d, 44d),
	new Longitude(-87d, 38d, 9d),
	181d.Meters()
);
var distance = origin.Distance(destination);
var bearing = origin.Bearing(destination);

// Google Earth says 1,147,086 m
var refDistance = 1147068d.Meters();
var accuracy = distance.Accuracy; // Distance is about 99.5% accurate over longer ranges because the calculation assumes a spherical earth

Trace.WriteLine($"From {origin} to {destination} is {distance.ToString("0,0.000", MetricExponent.Kilo)}");
Trace.WriteLine($"(accuracy {accuracy.ToString("0.000", MetricExponent.Kilo)}; reference distance {refDistance.ToString("0,0.0", MetricExponent.Kilo, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)})");

Output > From 40.71305°N, 74.01305°W, 11 m to 41.87889°N, 87.63583°W, 181 m is 1,143.566 km at 280.97528° 
(accuracy 5.718 km; reference distance 1,147.1 km)

The Inner Drive Technology website has a full SDK and example code. We also have a demo weather site that uses all the IDEA components.
