    18 Lastly, lets take note of one very interesting thing about geodesics on the ellipsoid: If there is more than one geodesic connecting two points they are very likely to have ''different'' distances on the geoid, i.e. using the geoid we'll find out which of the geodesic ars is the true shortest of ''shortest arcs''. This won't matter at all for aerial or marinal navigation though.. It's more food for thought.
