Description

Bindings to the 'GeographicLib' C++ library <https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/> for precise geodetic calculations including geodesic computations (distance, bearing, paths, intersections), map projections (UTM/UPS, Transverse Mercator, Lambert Conformal Conic, and more), grid reference systems (MGRS, Geohash, GARS, Georef), coordinate conversions (geocentric, local Cartesian), and polygon area on the WGS84 ellipsoid. All functions are fully vectorized.
