flat-projection
Fast geodesic distance calculations via flat surface projection.
The FlatProjection
struct can by used to project geographical
coordinates from WGS84 into a cartesian coordinate system.
In the projected form approximated distance and bearing calculations
can be performed much faster than on a sphere. The precision of these
calculations is very precise for distances up to about 500 km.
Usage
extern crate flat_projection;
use FlatProjection;
