Usage

table_getNearestLocation(
  locationTbl = NULL,
  longitude = NULL,
  latitude = NULL,
  distanceThreshold = NULL
)

Arguments

locationTbl

Tibble of known locations.

longitude

Vector of longitudes in decimal degrees E.

latitude

Vector of latitudes in decimal degrees N.

distanceThreshold

Distance in meters.

Tibble of known locations.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(MazamaLocationUtils)

locationTbl <- get(data("wa_monitors_500"))

# Wenatchee
lon <- -120.325278
lat <- 47.423333

# Too small a distanceThreshold will not find a match
table_getNearestLocation(locationTbl, lon, lat, distanceThreshold = 50) %>% str()

# Expanding the distanceThreshold will find one
table_getNearestLocation(locationTbl, lon, lat, distanceThreshold = 5000) %>% str()
# }
