Display earth curvature in profile function #19

Open tgdbepe4 opened 4 years ago

tgdbepe4 commented 4 years ago

I miss in the profile function an option in which I can select the earth curvature (normalle 1.333) and the fresnel zones. This is necessary for longer distance microwave connections. In short: Not all what you calculate from the map is visible in real because the map is plain and the earth is a round. And for microwave connections at minimum the first fresnel zone must be free of objects. E.E. in a 100 km distance a tower must be 700m higer then what you calculate from the map.

The calculation takes earth curvature in account [1].

I suggest to add a box like this: grafik

And with a result like this: Albis - Chasseral Albis - Chasseral earth curvated and fresnel zone 1
