   Great-circle navigation or orthodromic navigation (related to orthodromic course; from Ancient Greek ορθός (orthós) 'right angle', and δρόμος (drómos) 'path') is the practice of navigating a vessel (a ship or aircraft) along a great circle. Such routes yield the shortest distance between two points on the globe.

   The haversine formula allows the haversine of θ (that is, hav (θ)) to be computed directly from the latitude (represented by φ) and longitude (represented by λ) of the two points: where. λ1, λ2 are the longitude of point 1 and longitude of point 2. Finally, the haversine function hav (θ), applied above to both the central angle θ and ...
