Geodetic calculations
Mon, 25 Sep 2006 20:10:40 +020
Hi everybody

I need to do geodetic calculations in Turbo Pascal 6. From two geodetic 
coorinates (WGS84) I want to calc heading (direction) and distance.

Can anybody help me ?

You need to indicate whether by Great Circle or by Rhumb Line or both,
unless the distances are trivial or the directions N / S.
