[feat] Add additional standard geodesic operators to LLA class #215

Closed vishwa2710 closed 8 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to calculate the forward, backward azimuths between two geodetic coordinates. There are additional geodesic operations available via geographic lib that would be useful to expose: https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/C++/doc/classGeographicLib_1_1Geodesic.html https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/C++/doc/classGeographicLib_1_1GeodesicLine.html

Describe the solution you'd like C++ and python functions to solve the forward and inverse problem in Geodetic coordiantes

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently this is done by using pyproj in python.
