Description : GeographicLib is a small set of C++ classes for performing conversions
: between geographic, UTM, UPS, MGRS, geocentric, and local Cartesian
: coordinates, for gravity (e.g., EGM2008), geoid height and geomagnetic
: field (e.g., WMM2010) calculations, and for solving geodesic problems.
: The emphasis is on returning accurate results with errors close to round-off
: (about 5–15 nanometers). New accurate algorithms for Geodesics on an
: ellipsoid of revolution and Transverse Mercator projection have been
: developed for this library. The functionality of the library can be accessed
: from user code, from the Utility programs provided, or via the
: Implementations in other languages.
