![]() | ![]() | ![]() | Distances and bearings |
There are two sets of formulas for computing distances and bearings that the user may choose
In some situations, namely when computing the total distance
along a track having very small distances between consecutive points,
the Law of Cosines will yield results with large errors and therefore
it should only be used on very slow computers.
Bearings in GPSMan are always geographic (True North).
