Martin Desruisseaux updated SIS-385:
------------------------------------
Description:
The {{DistanceUtils}} class has the following problems:
* Inaccurate formula in {{getPointOnGreatCircle}}.
* Inaccurate formula in {{getHaversineDistance}}.
* Misnamed {{getHaversineDistance}} method.
Charles Karney kindly provided descriptions of the problems [on the developer
mailing
list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/85ba228a3191f2952f2e37caa489f929daffd491da50484972af4aef@%3Cdev.sis.apache.org%3E],
together with proposed fixes.
One possible action is to deprecate {{DistanceUtils}} in favor of something
like the {{GeodeticCalculator}} class [in the Geotk
project|http://www.geotoolkit.org/apidocs/org/geotoolkit/referencing/GeodeticCalculator.html].
That class is a port in Java of following Fortran code:
* ftp://ftp.ngs.noaa.gov/pub/pcsoft/for_inv.3d/source/forward.for
** subroutine DIRECT1
* ftp://ftp.ngs.noaa.gov/pub/pcsoft/for_inv.3d/source/inverse.for
** subroutine GPNARC (version 200005.26)
** subroutine GPNHRI (version 200208.09)
** written by Robert (Sid) Safford
But we may take another source if suitable, for example
[https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/|https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/].
