ExtendedFixData.GeoidHeightAboveWGS84 Property

Returns the current geoid height above the WGS84 ellipsoid.

Syntax

[Visual Basic]
object.GeoidHeightAboveWGS84

[C#]
object.GeoidHeightAboveWGS84

[C++]
object->GeoidHeightAboveWGS84

Parameters

object

An object expression that evaluates to an ExtendedFixData instance.

Return Value

An Altitude object containing the current geoid height above the WGS84 ellipsoid.

Remarks

If no geoid height data is available the IsValid property of the Altitude object is false

Errors

None

Example

[Visual Basic]
Dim geoidHeight As Altitude
Dim geoidHeightInMeters As Double

'Get geoid height above the WGS84 ellipsoid
geoidHeight = myGPSToolKit.ExtendedFixData.GeoidHeightAboveWGS84

If geoidHeight.IsValid = True Then
    geoidHeightInMeters = geoidHeight.ValueInMeters
End If


[C#]
Altitude geoidHeight;
double geoidHeightInMeters;

// Get geoid height above the WGS84 ellipsoid
geoidHeight = myGPSToolKit.ExtendedFixData.GeoidHeightAboveWGS84;

if(geoidHeight.IsValid == true)
{
    geoidHeightInMeters = geoidHeight.ValueInMeters;
}


[C++]
Altitude* geoidHeight;
double geoidHeightInMeters;

// Get geoid height above the WGS84 ellipsoid
geoidHeight = myGPSToolKit->ExtendedFixData->GeoidHeightAboveWGS84;

if(geoidHeight->IsValid == true)
{
    geoidHeightInMeters = geoidHeight->ValueInMeters;
}
