Unit:SDL_geodb
Class:None
Declaration:function GeoLongitude (InNum: double; Format: TDegreeFormat; Precision: integer): string;

The function GeoLongitude converts a decimal geographic longitude value contained in InNum into a string based on degrees, minutes and seconds. InNum make take values between -180 (degrees west) and +180 (degrees east); any values beyond this range are automatically set to the nearest limit.
