Navigating Along Geodesic Paths on the Surface of a Spheroid
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 October 2009
Extract
Hairawa in the Journal made the statement that there is no easy method of calculating the length of a geodesic line on the surface of a spheroid and this is true. Nevertheless, it is the purpose here to attempt to devise a method and then to leave it to the reader to judge whether or not the amount of work involved justifies the method as an alternative to the correction methods of Andoyer and Lambert and to the work of Hairawa himself.
