The GPS WAYPOINT REGISTER's Distance calculator (between 2 w

Waypoint 1 (in decimal degrees)

Latitude 1 (E)
33.64696

Notes:
1. The distance between two waypoints is calculated using the great circle formula.
2. Distance = acos(sin(lat1)*sin(lat2)+cos(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lon1-lon2))
were all lat and longs are expressed in radians
3. 1 Nautical mile = 1.852 km (for sea and air navigation)
4. This distance calculator should only be used for recreational purposes with an accuracy
requirement not better than 1 in 100 000. The GPS WAYPOINT REGISTER will not be liable for
any wrongly calculated distances or results thereof.
5. This Calculator is based on a MS EXCEL 5.0/95 Spreadsheet and may be saved on your PC
using the "File / Save AS" function of your Browser
6. To view or edit the formulas, unprotect the worksheet and double-click on a cell.
7. Angle between two waypoints = mod(atan2(sin(lon1-lon2)*cos(lat2),cos(lat1)*sin(lat2)-
sin(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lon1-lon2)), 2*pi)
were all lat and longs are expressed in radians
