Use Great Circle Mapper to calculate the distance and flight duration between all airports worldwide and draw the flight route on a map.
The Great Circle Mapper displays maps and computes distances along a geodesic path. It includes an extensive, searchable database of airports and other locations.
I need to use Python to create a great circle distance -- both a number, and preferably some kind of 'curve' that I can use to draw in a client-side map. I don't care about the format of the curve -- be it WKT, or a set of pairs of coordinates -- but just want to get the data out.
Does the Great Circle Mapper assume Earth is a sphere? How does the Great Circle Mapper calculate distances and paths? Why does the example in Ed Williams' Aviation Formulary calculate a different distance for LAX-JFK?
