<h2>Geodesic calculations for an ellipsoid done right</h2>

<p>
This page illustrates the geodesic routines available in
<a href="http://geographiclib.sourceforge.net">GeographicLib</a>.
The C++ code has been converted to JavaScript so the calculations
are carried out on the client. The algorithms are considerably
more accurate than Vincenty's method, and offer more functionality
(an inverse method which never fails to converge, differential
properties of the geodesic, and the area under a geodesic). The
algorithms are derived in

This page just provides a basic interface. Enter latitudes,
longitudes, and azimuths as degrees and distances as meters using
spaces or commas as separators. (Angles may be entered as decimal
degrees or as degrees, minutes, and seconds, e.g. -20.51125,
20&deg;30&prime;40.5&Prime;S, S20d30'40.5&quot;, or
-20:30:40.5.) The results are accurate to about
15&nbsp;nanometers (or 0.1&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup> per vertex for
areas). A slicker page where the geodesics are incorporated into
Google Maps is given <a href="geod-google.html">here</a>.

Find the shortest path between two points on the earth. The
path is characterized by its length <i>s12</i> and its azimuth
at the two ends <i>azi1</i> and <i>azi2</i>. The sample
calculation finds the shortest path between Wellington, New
Zealand, and Salamanca, Spain. (For this example, the
<a href="http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/">NGS</a>
<a href="http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/Inv_Fwd/inverse2.prl">
inverse geodesic calculator</a> returns a result which is 1.2 km
too long with an azimuth which is off by 3 degrees.) To perform
the calculation, press the &ldquo;COMPUTE&rdquo; button.

Find intermediate points along a geodesic. In addition to
specifying the endpoints, give <i>ds12</i>, the maximum distance
between the intermediate points and <i>maxk</i>, the maximum
number of intervals the geodesic is broken into. The output
gives a sequence of positions <i>lat, lon</i> together with the
corresponding azimuths <i>azi</i>. The sample shows the path
from JFK to Singapore's Changi Airport at about 1000 km

deviates from the shortest path by about 2.9 km.) To perform

<h3><a class="anchor" id="area">Polygon area</h3>
<p>
Find the perimeter and area of a polygon whose sides are
geodesics. The polygon must be simple (i.e., must not intersect
itself). (There's no need to ensure that the polygon is
closed.) Counter-clockwise traversal of the polygon results in
a positive area. The polygon can encircle one or both poles.
The sample gives the approximate perimeter (in m) and area (in
m<sup>2</sup>) of Antarctica. (For this example, Google Earth
Pro returns an area which is 30 times too large! However this
is a little unfair, since Google Earth has no concept of
polygons which encircle a pole.) If the <i>polyline</i> option
is selected then just the length of the line joining the points
is is returned. To perform the calculation, press the
&ldquo;COMPUTE&rdquo; button.
