GM_CalcBearing

Calculates the bearing in radians between two points.

Syntax
GM_Error_t32 GM_CalcBearing

(

double  aFromX,     // IN: start X/longitude coordinate

double  aFromY,     // IN: start Y/latitude coordinate

double  aToX,       // IN: stop X/longitude coordinate

double  aToY,       // IN: stop Y/latitude coordinate

boolean aLatLon,    // IN: TRUE - coordinates are lat/lon, FALSE - coordinates are in the current projection?

double* aBearing    // OUT: bearing in radians between the points

);
Remarks

The points can either be specified as lat/lon values or in the current projection. The bearing retrieved is a cartographic bearing, with 0 being north, PI / 2 being east, PI being south, and 3 * PI / 2 being west.
