CoordServices (ICoordServices80)
The ICoordServices80 interface provides a set of methods for reprojecting given coordinates between different coordinate systems. Use the SourceCoordinateSystem property to define the coordinate system your application uses. Once a coordinate system has been set by a client, every coordinate used by the client is converted from the source coordinate system used by the client to the terrain coordinate system. You can retrieve the terrain coordinate system with ITerrain80.CoordinateSystem.
TerraExplorer Pro also provides a number of service methods to perform advanced geographic-related tasks like calculating distances and angles between points. These methods are especially useful when working with globe databases, where the units are in degrees, but they work for any database.
