v1 v2 2 2 > You can try, but this may be difficult. Geotools uses GeographicLib for distance measurement, so I assume this is well tested: [http://sourceforge.net/p/geographiclib/code/ci/master/tree/java/src/main/java/net/sf/geographiclib/Geodesic.java net.sf.geographiclib.Geodesic] (line 526) 3 3 4 I'm currently reading up on the [http://arxiv.org/pdf/1102.1215.pdf paper to GeographicLib] by Karney which seems to be a more exhaustive resource than [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesics_on_an_ellipsoid Geodesics on an ellipsoid] regarding the math involved. It claims an accuracy for geodesic calculations on ellipsoids close to machine precision at 15nm using double floats. 4 I'm currently reading up on the [http://arxiv.org/pdf/1102.1215.pdf paper to GeographicLib] by Karney which seems to be a more exhaustive resource than [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesics_on_an_ellipsoid Geodesics on an ellipsoid] regarding the math involved.
