        geographiclib, the geodesic routines in GeographicLib</a>
      (<a href="https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/html/js/">
        documentation</a>).
      The algorithms are considerably more accurate than Vincenty's
      method, and offer more functionality (an inverse method which
      never fails to converge, differential properties of the geodesic,
      and the area under a geodesic).  The algorithms are derived in

      This page just provides a basic interface.  Enter latitudes,
      longitudes, and azimuths as degrees and distances as meters using
      spaces or commas as separators.  (Angles may be entered as decimal
      degrees or as degrees, minutes, and seconds, e.g. -20.51125,
      20&deg;30&prime;40.5&Prime;S, S20d30'40.5&quot;, or
      -20:30:40.5.)  The results are accurate to about
      15&nbsp;nanometers (or 0.1&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup> per vertex for
      areas).  A slicker page where the geodesics are incorporated into
      Google Maps is given <a href="geod-google.html">here</a>.  Basic
      online tools which provide similar capabilities are
      <a href="https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/cgi-bin/GeodSolve">

        between the intermediate points and <i>maxk</i>, the maximum

      <h3><a class="anchor" id="area">Polygon area</h3>

        Find the perimeter and area of a polygon whose sides are
        geodesics.  The polygon must be simple (i.e., must not intersect
        itself).  (There's no need to ensure that the polygon is
        closed.)  Counter-clockwise traversal of the polygon results in
        a positive area.  The polygon can encircle one or both poles.
        The sample gives the approximate perimeter (in m) and area (in
        m<sup>2</sup>) of Antarctica.  (For this example, Google Earth
        Pro returns an area which is 30 times too large!  However this
        is a little unfair, since Google Earth has no concept of
        polygons which encircle a pole.)  If the <i>polyline</i> option
        is selected then just the length of the line joining the points
        is returned.  To perform the calculation, press the
        &ldquo;COMPUTE&rdquo; button.
