Hello!
There was a discussion of GC (great circle) attributes like the maximum latitude reached when following such a route, etc.
I can't seems to find this in the archive.
Could you please help me with:
- GC apex formula
- position of GC "poles"
Thank you in advance.
Warm regards,
Tony

Honestly, I did try to search for this topic in the archive - was flooded with false-positive hits...
