ℹ️ Technical Details
This calculator uses arbitrary precision arithmetic, which provides
highly accurate distance calculations on the WGS84 ellipsoid. Unlike simpler methods
like Haversine (which assumes a spherical Earth), this method accounts for
Earth's ellipsoidal shape and provides as much accuracy as sought for any
pair of points on Earth. Current machine-precision algorithms top out at about 15nm. This method can exceed that.
The calculation is performed using WebAssembly (WASM) compiled from Rust,
providing near-native performance in your browser.
