    • initialize with a pretty string format (e.g. latitude = @"34° 36' 12" N" longitude = @"35° 12' 24" W")
  • Obtain coordinates in a pretty format
  • Distance between coordinates using:
    • Haversine formula
    • Spherical Law of cosines formula
    • Pythagoras formula
    • Rhumb line formula
  • Midpoint along a great circle path between coordinates
  • Initial/final bearings to target location from source location
  • Calculate target location with a given distance and bearing from source location
