Method Detail

getDestinationWaypointId

String getDestinationWaypointId()

Get the ID of destination waypoint. This field should be always available in GOTO mode.

Returns:

waypoint id

Throws:

DataNotAvailableException - If the data is not available.

ParseException - If the field contains unexpected or illegal value.

getMagneticBearing

double getMagneticBearing()

Get the magnetic bearing from origin to destination.

Notice: The bearing is calculated from the origin when GOTO is activated and it is not updated dynamically.

Returns:

magnetic bearing value

Throws:

DataNotAvailableException - If the data is not available.

ParseException - If the field contains unexpected or illegal value.

getOriginWaypointId

String getOriginWaypointId()

Get the ID of origin waypoint. This field is available only when route is active.

Returns:

waypoint id

Throws:

DataNotAvailableException - If the data is not available.

ParseException - If the field contains unexpected or illegal value.

getTrueBearing

double getTrueBearing()

Get the true bearing from origin to destination.

Notice: Typically the bearing is calculated when GOTO mode is activated and it is not updated dynamically.

Returns:

True bearing

Throws:

DataNotAvailableException - If the data is not available.

ParseException - If the field contains unexpected or illegal value.

setDestinationWaypointId

void setDestinationWaypointId(String id)

Sets the destination waypoint ID.

Parameters:

id - ID to set

setMagneticBearing

void setMagneticBearing(double bearing)

Sets the true bearing from origin to destination, in degrees.

Parameters:

bearing - Bearing value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If bearing value out range 0..360 degrees.

setOriginWaypointId

void setOriginWaypointId(String id)

Sets the ID of origin waypoint.

Parameters:

id - ID to set.

setTrueBearing

void setTrueBearing(double bearing)

Sets the true bearing from origin to destination, in degrees.

Parameters:

bearing - Bearing value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If bearing value out range 0..360 degrees.
