## LatLng

Represents a geographical point with a certain latitude and longitude.

    var latlng = L.latLng(50.5, 30.5);

All Leaflet methods that accept LatLng objects also accept them in a simple Array form and simple object form (unless noted otherwise), so these lines are equivalent:

    map.panTo([50, 30]);
    map.panTo({lon: 30, lat: 50});
    map.panTo({lat: 50, lng: 30});
    map.panTo(L.latLng(50, 30));

### Creation

Factory | Description
--- | ---
`L.latLng( <Number> latitude, <Number> longitude, <Number> altitude? )` | Creates an object representing a geographical point with the given latitude and longitude (and optionally altitude).

### Properties

Property | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`lat` | `Number` | Latitude in degrees.
`lng` | `Number` | Longitude in degrees.

### Methods

Method | Returns | Description
--- | --- | ---
`distanceTo( <LatLng> otherLatlng )` | `Number` | Returns the distance (in meters) to the given LatLng calculated using the Haversine formula. See description on wikipedia
`equals( <LatLng> otherLatlng )` | `Boolean` | Returns `true` if the given LatLng point is at the same position (within a small margin of error).
`toString()` | `String` | Returns a string representation of the point (for debugging purposes).
`wrap( <Number> left, <Number> right )` | `LatLng` | Returns a new `LatLng` object with the longitude wrapped around `left` and `right` boundaries (`-180` to `180` by default).

### Constants

Constant | Type | Value | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
`DEG_TO_RAD` | `Number` | `Math.PI / 180` | A multiplier for converting degrees into radians.
`RAD_TO_DEG` | `Number` | `180 / Math.PI` | A multiplier for converting radians into degrees.
`MAX_MARGIN` | `Number` | `1.0E-9` | Max margin of error for the equality check.
