Describe your change:
Addition of a more accurate algorithm to calculate distances between two points on the Earth's surface. This method treats the Earth as an oblate ellipsoid.
Tests can be cross-referenced here - This is a much more precise algorithm than Lambert's but can be used for comparison.
Insert lat1, lon1 lat2, lon2 into the "Inverse" field and "Calculate" to verify tests. s12 value is the geodesic
