The emphasis is on returning accurate results with errors close to round-off
(about 515 nanometers). New accurate algorithms for Geodesics on an
ellipsoid of revolution and Transverse Mercator projection have been
developed for this library. The functionality of the library can be accessed
from user code, from the Utility programs provided, or via the
