Greg,
What is the advantage of the Ageton method over the Ix Haversign Doniol Method that you and Hanno worked on?
I have tried many methods and belive the Ix-Doniol is the best. Easy, compact and as accurate as the size of the haversine tables one uses. I know that different people prefer different methods and no one way will be everyones favorite but are there dissadvantages in the Haversign method that I am not seeing?
Thanks, John H.
