# CLLocationDirection

An azimuth that is measured in degrees relative to true north.

```
typealias CLLocationDirection = Double
```

## Discussion

Direction values are measured in degrees starting at due north and continue clockwise around the compass. Thus, north is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and so on. A negative value indicates an invalid direction.
