Module geodesy.geodetic

Three-dimensional geodetic coordinate value type.

A geodetic coordinate combines strong latitude and longitude values with a finite ellipsoidal height. Datum, CRS, ellipsoid identity, epoch, and unit metadata are deliberately not embedded; operations that need those concepts receive them explicitly.

Units

Latitude and longitude use the strong angular types. Ellipsoidal height uses a caller-selected linear unit and must match the associated ellipsoid where an operation combines them.

Performance

Checked construction and value access require no allocation.
