![]() The formula used to determine the shortest distance between two points on the land (geodesic), approximates the geoid to a sphere of radius R = 6372.795477598 km (radius quadric medium), so the calculation could have a distance error of 0.3%, particularly in the polar extremes, and for long distances through various parallel.

Minute is an integer value without sign, from 0 to 59. Degree Degree format is composed of direction (N-S or W-E) and three sets of numbers separate by the symbols for degrees (°), minutes (’), and seconds (").ĭegree is an integer value without sign, from 0 to 90 for the latitude or from 0 to 180 for the longitude. Decimal You have to select a direction (N-S or W-E) and insert a number from 0 to 90 for the latitude or from 0 to 180 for the longitude (example 45.12345). ![]() ![]() Content Format Calculating the distance between two geographical points Calculation of direction between two geographical points Calculation of the destination point Determinate speed or time elapsed Comment Back to top Contentįormat Value range Valid value for the latitude are from -90.0° to 90.0° for the longitude are from -180.0° to 180.0°, the + sign should be omitted, while the minus sign is not necessary if there is a radio component to select the direction N-S or W-E (Degree and Decimal format).
