public class GlobalPathType
extends PathType

The instances of this class represent methods of calculating a path between two locations. The in-between points of the path satisfy two conditions:

1. The in-between points are the same regardless of the way the current path is displayed (i.e. the path is independent of map projection, current viewport, etc.)
2. The in-between points are claculated along a surface that the points are projected onto (such as the surface of the earth).

The second condition implies that altitude is not taken into account when calculating paths of type GlobalPathType. Hence paths of this type are well suited for navigation of surface ships or vehicles.\
