I meant to basically: 1. clone the QGIS source code repository from https://github.com/qgis/QGIS 2. build QGIS yourself - see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL 3. create a branch and implement your changes in the branch 4. create a pull request in QGIS repository on GitHub > 2. geographiclib already has done the work for the more accurate geodesic > algorithms.

It is possible that they are compatible, but I don't know - better to research that first... > 3. What is the best way to learn the steps necessary to contribute to the > core QGIS project? I think my reply above partially answers this question. Have a look also here: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/qgisdevelopersguide/index.html If you have further questions on how to get started, feel free to ask here on qgis-dev list.
