NAME

GIS::Distance::ALT - Andoyer-Lambert-Thomas distance calculations.

DESCRIPTION

This is faster than the GIS::Distance::Vincenty formula, but looses a bit of accuracy.

A faster (XS) version of this formula is available as GIS::Distance::Fast::ALT.

Normally this module is not used directly. Instead GIS::Distance is used which in turn interfaces with the various formula modules.

AUTHORS AND LICENSE

This formula was taken from GIS::Distance::XS and modified to fit.
