gcd.hf R Documentation
Geosedic distance between two points.
Description
Calculates the geodesic distance between two points specified by their
longitude and latitude in degrees calculated using the Haversine formula.
This should give accurate results for small and medium distances, but assumes
a spherical earth. Algorithms that accurately model an ellipsoid earth are
slower, but should be used for long distances.
Usage
gcd.hf(long1, lat1, long2, lat2)
Arguments
long1
Longitude of point 1 in degrees.
lat1
Latitude of point 1 in degrees.
long2
Longitude of point 2 in degrees.
lat2
Latitude of point 2 in degrees.
Value
The distance betwen the two points in kilometers.
