Method NearestCoordinateGeodetic

Determines the nearest point in the input geometry to the input point, by using a shape preserving geodesic approximation of the input geometry.

public static ProximityResult NearestCoordinateGeodetic(this Geometry geometry, MapPoint point, double maxDeviation, LinearUnit deviationUnit = null)

Type	Name	Description
Geometry	geometry	A geometry object on which to calculate the nearest coordinate to the `point` parameter.
MapPoint	point	The point from which to calculate the nearest coordinate on the `geometry` parameter.
System.Double	maxDeviation	The maximum distance that the geodetic geometry can deviate from the original (in the units of the `deviationUnit` parameter). If the value is <= zero, or NAN, the error calculation deviation defaults to 0.01 meters.
LinearUnit	deviationUnit	The unit of measure for the `maxDeviation` parameter. If `null`, the units of `maxDeviation` are assumed to be meters.

Type	Description
ProximityResult	A ProximityResult containing the results of the operation, where the Distance is returned in meters. Returns `null` if the input geometry is empty. Distance is zero if the point lies inside an input polygon, polyline, or envelope.

All geometry types are supported for the geometry parameter. Supports true curves.
