Geodesy

Straight forward distance calculation.

Classes

• Latitude: Initialize with Double. Value must be within valid range.
  • degrees() - Get value in degrees.
  • radians() - Get value in radians.
• Longitude: Initialize with Double. Value must be within valid range.
  • degrees() - Get value in degrees.
  • radians() - Get value in radians.
• Point: Initialize with Latitude and Longitude.
  • distanceTo(Point) - Get a distance calculation from this point to a given point.
  • fineDistanceTo(Point) - Get an accurate distance calculation from this point to a given point. This method uses Thaddeus Vincenty's precise distance from point a to b on an ellipsoid algorithm. The code was adopted from its JavaScript version located at: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong-vincenty.html.
