Keywords

---

        /DEGREES means range is in degrees instead of radians.

Outputs

---

      dist = range to point point of interest (radians). out
      azi = azimuth to point of interest (degrees). out

Notes

---

      Notes: A unit sphere is assumed, thus dist is in radians
        so to get actual distance multiply dist by radius.
        Useful constants:
        Radius of Earth (mean) = 6371.23 km = 3958.899 miles.
        (Must first convert to radians if using /DEGREES).
        rb2ll is inverse.
        ll2rbe is WGS84 ellipsoidal version.
