Warning
At this point upoints
only exists to assist the users who have been using
it for years, I absolutely do not recommend its use to new users.
upoints
is a collection of GPL v3 licensed modules for working
with points on Earth, or other near spherical objects. It allows you to
calculate the distance and bearings between points, mangle
xearth/xplanet data files, work with online UK trigpoint databases,
NOAA’s weather station database and other such location databases.
Previous versions of upoints
were called earth_distance
, but
the name was changed as it no longer reflected the majority of uses the
packages was targeted at.
