    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    the string representation of this location
  - toGeoId
```
@Pure
GeoId toGeoId()
```
    Replies the GeoId representation of the geo-location.
    
    Returns:
    
    the GeoId representation of this location
  - toUUID
```
@Pure
UUID toUUID()
```
    Replies the UUID of the geo-location.
    
    Returns:
    
    the UUID of this location
  - equals
```
@Pure
boolean equals(Object location)
```
    Replies if the specified location is equals to this one.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object

  - toBounds2D
```
@Pure
Rectangle2d toBounds2D()
```
    Replies the area cover by this location.
    
    Returns:
    
    the bounds
  - toGeodesicPosition
```
@Pure
GeodesicPosition toGeodesicPosition()
```
    Replies the WSG84 (GPS) representation of this point.
    If this GeoLocation is not a point, the implementation class should provides a significant GPS point.
    
    Returns:
    
    the WSG84 (GPS) representation of this point; or null if the GPS point could not be computed.
