<li>
Implementations of the geodesic routines are now available in C,
Fortran, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Matlab (in addition to
C++). For details see
<a href="http://geographiclib.sourceforge.net/html/other.html">
this link</a>.
<li>
Care needs to be taken when solving the inverse problem for a
non-equatorial geodesic when both end points on the equator. In
Table 5, the quadrants for \(\sigma_1\) and \(\omega_1\) must be
determined taking \(\sin\sigma_1\) and \(\sin\omega_1\) to be
negative; this is consistent with the ordering \(\phi_1 \le 0\).
<li>
The 6th-order series given in the paper provide solutions for
the geodesic problem which are accurate to round off for
\(\left|f\right| \lt 0.01\). The least accurate of the series
is the reverted series for \(\sigma\) in terms of \(\tau\),
Eqs. (20) and (21), which is used only in solving the direct
problem. The accuracy can be improved by using these equations
to give an initial approximation for \(\sigma\) which is
following by one step of Newton's method applied to Eq. (7),
with \(dI_1(\sigma)/d\sigma = \sqrt{1 + k^2 \sin^2\sigma}\).
With this change (which need only be applied for
\(\left|f\right| \gt 0.01\)), the 6th-order series are accurate
to round-off for \(\left|f\right| \lt 0.02\).
<li>
Equation (63) give expansions for the area integral using
\(e'^2\) and \(k^2\) as small parameters. Unfortunately the
resulting series diverges for \(e' \gt 1\) or \(b/a \lt
1/\sqrt2\). This problem is remedied by expanding instead in
terms of \(n\) and \(\epsilon\). Thus Eq. (63) becomes
\[
\begin{align}

<li>
In some applications, it is necessary to keep track of how many
times a geodesic encircles the earth, i.e., to determine the
value of \(\lambda_{12}\) without reducing it to some canonical
range. The geodesic classes offer this option through the
Geodesic::LONG_UNROLL mask bit. In the case of the inverse
problem, we are interested in the shortest geodesic and thus
\(\lambda_{12}\in(-\pi,\pi]\) (the geodesic between points on
opposite meridians is taken to be east-going). When solving the
direct geodesic problem, \(\sigma_{12}\) is found in terms of
the length of the geodesic, \(\omega\) and \(\sigma\) pass from
one quadrant to the next at the same time, and they are related
by \(\tan\omega = \sin\alpha_0 \tan\sigma\). The "unrolled"
value of \(\lambda_{12}\) is then given by
\[
\begin{align}
\omega_{12} &= E\biggl[\sigma_{12}
- \biggl(\tan^{-1}\frac{\sin\sigma_2}{\cos\sigma_2} -
\tan^{-1}\frac{\sin\sigma_1}{\cos\sigma_1}\biggr)\\
&\quad\qquad{}+ \biggl(\tan^{-1}\frac{E\sin\omega_2}{\cos\omega_2} -
\tan^{-1}\frac{E\sin\omega_1}{\cos\omega_1}\biggr)\biggr],\\
\lambda_{12} &= \omega_{12} - f\sin\alpha_0
\bigl(I_3(\sigma_2)-I_3(\sigma_1)\bigr),
\end{align}
\]
where \(E=\pm1\) is the sign of \(\sin\alpha_0\) or \(+1\) if
\(\sin\alpha_0 = 0\).
<li>
The starting guesses for Newton's method given in Sec. 5 are not
very good for highly eccentric ellipsoids. It's possible to
modify Newton's method so that it converges even for poor
initial guesses. The goal is to find the root of
\[
f(\alpha_1) \equiv \lambda_{12}(\alpha_1) - \lambda_{12} = 0,
\]
where \(\lambda_{12}(\alpha_1)\) is the solution of the hybrid
problem. There is exactly one root to this equation in the
interval \(\alpha_1 \in (0,\pi)\) and its derivative
\(f'(\alpha_1)\) is positive at the root. During the course of
the iteration, a range \((\alpha_{1a}, \alpha_{1b})\) is
maintained which brackets the root and with each evaluation of
\(f(\alpha_1)\) the range is shrunk, if possible. Newton's
method is restarted whenever the derivative of \(f(\alpha_1)\)
is negative (because the new value of \(\alpha_1\) is then
further from the solution) or if the new estimate of
\(\alpha_1\) lies outside \((0,\pi)\); in this case, the new
starting guess is taken to be \((\alpha_{1a} + \alpha_{1b}) /
2\).
<li>
In order to obtain accurate solutions for ellipsoids of
arbitrary eccentricity, it is necessary to replace the series
expansions for the integrals (which are valid only if \(f\) is
small) with direct evaluation in terms of elliptic integrals
(which are valid for all \(f\)). The key relations used are
\[
\begin{align}
\frac sb &= E(\sigma, ik), \\
\lambda &= \chi
- \frac{e'^2}{\sqrt{1+e'^2}}\sin\alpha_0 H(\sigma, -e'^2, ik), \\
J(\sigma) &= k^2 D(\sigma, ik),
\end{align}
\]
where
\[
\begin{align}
\tan\chi &= \sqrt{\frac{1+e'^2}{1+k^2\sin^2\sigma}}\tan\omega, \\
H(\phi, \alpha^2, k)
&=
\frac1{\alpha^2} F(\phi, k) +
\biggl(1 - \frac1{\alpha^2}\biggr) \Pi(\phi, \alpha^2, k),
\end{align}
\]
and \(F(\phi, k)\), \(E(\phi, k)\), \(D(\phi, k)\), and
\(\Pi(\phi, \alpha^2, k)\), are incomplete elliptic integrals
(see <a href="http://dlmf.nist.gov/19.2.ii">
