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).
