( $degrees_ns, $degrees_ew ) = $index->OneMeterInDegrees( $latitude_radians );
Returns length in degrees of one meter (N/S and E/W) at given latitude
Values are approximate. The diameters are those for an oblate spheroid but the math assumes a sphere. As one approaches the poles these values get heavily distorted; code that uses them needs to take this into account.
$latitude_radians
- The latitude in radians
Return value
The return value is an array containing the width and height in degrees of one meter at the
given latitude:
(
