Keywords

---

        /DEGREES means distance is in degrees instead of radians.

Outputs

---

      lng1, lat1 = long, lat of point of interest (deg). out

Notes

---

      Notes: A unit sphere is assumed, thus dist is in radians.
        Useful constants:
        Radius of Earth (mean) = 6371.23 km = 3958.899 miles.
        Distance to horizon from height H above surface:
          For small H: dist = sqrt(2*H/R) in Radians
          For large H: dist = acos(R/(R+H)) in Radians
        To plot horizon from lat0, lng0, H:
          rb2ll,lng0,lat0,dist,makex(0,360,1),plng,plat
          plots,plng-360.,plat,psym=3
        ll2rb is inverse.
        rb2lle is WGS84 ellipsoidal version.
