CoordinateSharp is a high-performance, lightweight .NET library for working with geographical coordinates. Effortlessly convert coordinates, compute distances, and calculate location-based solar, lunar, and magnetic data — all with minimal code.
Get Started
$ dotnet add package CoordinateSharpReadme
CoordinateSharp
CoordinateSharp is a simple .NET library that is designed to assist with geographic coordinate conversions, parsing, formatting, magnetic data, and location based celestial calculations such as sunset, sunrise, moonset, moonrise and more.
Prerequisites
.NET 4.0+ Framework, .NET 5.0+, or .NET Standard 1.3+ compatible runtimes.
Licensing & Purchase
CoordinateSharp is split licensed. You may use CoordinateSharp for free under the AGPL-3.0 (requires software to be open source) or a commercial use license that absolves you of the AGPL-3.0 open source requirements. Details as well as pricing may be viewed on our website.
Usage Example
CoordinateSharp is simple to use. In the below example we can create a Coordinate using one of the methods below.
//Seattle coordinates on 5 Jun 2018 @ 10:10 AM (UTC)
//Signed-Decimal Degree 47.6062, -122.3321
//Degrees Minutes Seconds N 47º 36' 22.32" W 122º 19' 55.56"
/***********************************************************/
//Initialize with signed degree (standard method)
Coordinate c = new Coordinate(47.6062, -122.3321, new DateTime(2018,6,5,10,10,0));
//OR simply parse from a string
Coordinate c = Coordinate.Parse("N 47º 36.372' W 122º 19.926'", new DateTime(2018,6,5,10,10,0);
Once the Coordinate is created we have access to various formats and celestial data. Here are just a few examples.
Console.WriteLine(c); // N 47º 36' 22.32" W 122º 19' 55.56"
Console.WriteLine(c.Latitude.Seconds); // 22.32
Console.WriteLine(c.UTM); // 10T 550200mE 5272748mN
Console.WriteLine(c.CelestialInfo.SunSet); // 5-Jun-2018 4:02:00 AM
Console.WriteLine(c.CelestialInfo.MoonAltitude); // 14.4169966277874
Extension Packages
Extension packages are being built to work in conjunction with CoordinateSharp. Currently available extension packages may be downloaded via Nuget.org. Documentation for extension packages is contained in the main documentation of the library and can be found on our website.
