Calculate the geographical distance between 2 points

Vincenty calculates the geographical distance in kilometers or miles between 2 points with extreme accuracy.

This library implements Vincenty’s solution to the inverse geodetic problem. It is based on the WGS 84 reference ellipsoid and is accurate to within 1 mm ! or better.

This formula is widely used in geographic information systems GIS and is much more accurate than methods for computing the great-circle distance which assume a spherical Earth.
