.Vb 3
\&  More and more protocols and data formats are being extended by methods
\&  to add geographic information. However, all of those options are tied
\&  to that specific protocol or data format.
\&
\&  A dedicated Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme for geographic
\&  locations would be independent from any protocol, usable by any
\&  software/data format that can handle generich URIs. Like a "mailto:"
\&  URI launches your favourite mail application today, a "geo:" URI could
\&  soon launch your favourite mapping service, or queue that location for
\&  a navigation device.

.SH SUBROUTINES/METHODS
.IX Header "SUBROUTINES/METHODS"
.ie n .SS """new"""
.el .SS \f(CWnew\fP
.IX Subsection "new"
Create a new URI::geo. The arguments should be either
.IP \(bu 4
latitude, longitude and optionally altitude
.IP \(bu 4
a reference to an array containing lat, lon, alt
.IP \(bu 4
a reference to a hash with suitably named keys or
.IP \(bu 4
a reference to an object with suitably named accessors
.PP
To maximize the likelihood that you can pass in some object that
represents a geographical location and have URI::geo do the right thing
we try a number of different accessor names.
.PP
If the object has a \f(CW\*(C`latlong\*(C'\fR method (e.g. Geo::Point) we'll use that.
If there's a \f(CW\*(C`location\*(C'\fR method we call that. Otherwise we look for
accessors called \f(CW\*(C`lat\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`latitude\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`lon\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`long\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`longitude\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`ele\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`alt\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`elevation\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`altitude\*(C'\fR and use them.
.PP
Often if you have an object or hash reference that represents a point
you can pass it directly to \f(CW\*(C`new\*(C'\fR; so for example this will work:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  use URI::geo;
\&  use Geo::Point;
\&
\&  my $pt = Geo::Point\->latlong( 48.208333, 16.372778 );
\&  my $guri = URI::geo\->new( $pt );
.Ve
.PP
As will this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  my $guri = URI::geo\->new( { lat => 55, lon => \-1 } );
.Ve
.PP
and this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  my $guri = URI::geo\->new( 55, \-1 );
.Ve
.PP
Note that you can also create a new \f(CW\*(C`URI::geo\*(C'\fR by passing a Geo URI to
\&\f(CW\*(C`URI::new\*(C'\fR:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use URI;
\&
\&  my $guri = URI\->new( \*(Aqgeo:55,\-1\*(Aq );
.Ve
.ie n .SS """location"""
.el .SS \f(CWlocation\fP
.IX Subsection "location"
Get or set the location of this geo URI.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  my ( $lat, $lon, $alt ) = $guri\->location;
\&  $guri\->location( 55.3, \-3.7, 120 );
.Ve
.PP
When setting the location it is possible to pass any of the argument
types that can be passed to \f(CW\*(C`new\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .SS """latitude"""
.el .SS \f(CWlatitude\fP
.IX Subsection "latitude"
Get or set the latitude of this geo URI.

.el .SS \f(CWlongitude\fP
.IX Subsection "longitude"
Get or set the longitude of this geo URI.
.ie n .SS """altitude"""
.el .SS \f(CWaltitude\fP
.IX Subsection "altitude"
Get or set the altitude <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme#Altitude> of this geo URI. To delete the altitude set it to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .SS """crs"""
.el .SS \f(CWcrs\fP
.IX Subsection "crs"
Get or set the Coordinate Reference System <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme#Coordinate_reference_systems> of this geo URI. To delete the CRS set it to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .SS """uncertainty"""
.el .SS \f(CWuncertainty\fP
.IX Subsection "uncertainty"
Get or set the uncertainty <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme#Uncertainty> of this geo URI. To delete the uncertainty set it to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
