Suggest to use Geodesy to calculate distance out of track points. #1

Closed xue35 closed 5 years ago

Geodesy is a Julia package for working with points in various world and local coordinate systems. The primary feature of Geodesy is to define and perform coordinate transformations in a convenient and safe framework, leveraging the CoordinateTransformations package. Transformations are accurate and efficient and implemented in native Julia code (with many functions being ported from Charles Karney's GeographicLib C++ library), and some common geodetic datums are provided for convenience.

Finally, the Cartesian distance between world points can be calculated via automatic transformation to a Cartesian frame:

x_lla = LLA(-27.468937, 153.023628, 0.0) # City Hall, Brisbane, Australia
y_lla = LLA(-27.465933, 153.025900, 0.0) # Central Station, Brisbane, Australia
distance(x_lla, y_lla)                   # 401.54 meters
