Interface NamedStation

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable, Serializable, Station

All Known Implementing Classes:

NamedStationImpl, SoundingStation

public interface NamedStation
extends Station

Interface for a landmark with name, id, lat, lon, altitude (height above msl); and a hash table of "properties". ID is usually a letter or number code like "KICT," and is the "id" part of the NamedLocation. Name is a name or description like "Wichita."
