18 sty 2024 · In our great circle calculator, we went for the WGS 84: a widespread model used even by GPS satellites. Here are the numbers: a = 6378137.8 m. a = 6 378 137.8\ \mathrm {m} a = 6378137.8 m; b ≈ 6356752.314140 m. b \approx 6 356 752.314140\ \mathrm {m} b ≈ 6356752.314140 m; and. f = 298.257223563.

Given a start point, initial bearing, and distance, this will calculate the destination point and final bearing travelling along a (shortest distance) great circle arc. Destination point along great-circle given distance and bearing from start point
Calculate the great circle distance between two addresses. Draw a direct route between two airports, or multiple airport pairs. Draw range rings (concentric circles) around a point. Calculate coordinates at a given bearing and distance. Coordinate Converter.
Distance between points. The great circle distance d between two points with coordinates {lat1,lon1} and {lat2,lon2} is given by: d=acos (sin (lat1)*sin (lat2)+cos (lat1)*cos (lat2)*cos (lon1-lon2)) A mathematically equivalent formula, which is less subject to rounding error for short distances is:
