Parameters
- from
- Type: ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Geometry..::.Point
The Point to measure distance from.
- to
- Type: ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Geometry..::.Point
The Point to measure distance to.
- linearUnit
- Type: ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Geometry..::.Unit
The linear units of the returned measurement.
Return Value
The distance, in linearUnit, between from and to, measured geodesically.Remarks
Geodesic measurements account for the curvature of the earths surface.
