The forward computation involves determining +latitude, longitude and back azimuth of a terminus point given +the latitude and longitude of an initial point, plus azimuth and +distance. The inverse computation involves determining the forward and +back azimuths and distance given the latitudes and longitudes of an +initial and terminus point. + +Input coordinates can be given as python arrays, lists/tuples, scalars +or numpy/Numeric/numarray arrays. Optimized for objects that support +the Python buffer protocol (regular python and numpy array objects). |
