[feat] Add additional standard geodesic operators to LLA class

vishwa2710 opened this issue · comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to calculate the forward, backward azimuths between two geodetic coordinates.
There are additional geodesic operations available via geographic lib that would be useful to expose:
https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/C++/doc/classGeographicLib_1_1Geodesic.html
https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/C++/doc/classGeographicLib_1_1GeodesicLine.html

Describe the solution you'd like
C++ and python functions to solve the forward and inverse problem in Geodetic coordiantes

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently this is done by using pyproj in python.
