GoLang package to compute the distance between two geographic latitude, longitude coordinates
Vincentyis more accurate thanHaversinebecause is considers the Earth'sellipticity when performing the calculation, but takes a longer time to compute.- Wikipedia: Haversine
- Wikipedia: Vincenty
- Is the Haversine Formula or the Vincenty's Formula better for calculating distance?
