Great Circle & Rhumb line intersection
- by Karl T
I have a Latitude, Longitude, and a direction of travel in degrees true north. I would like to calculate if I will intersect a line defined by two more Lat/Lon points.
I figure the two points defining the line would create my great circle and my location and azimuth would define my Rhumb line.
I am only interested in intersections that will occur with a few hundred kilometers so I do not need every possible solution.
I have no idea where to begin.
