geocalc
An Elixir library for performing geographic calculations including distance, bearing, and geofencing.
What is geocalc?
Geocalc is an Elixir library for performing precise geographic calculations on Earth's surface using latitude and longitude coordinates. It solves the problem of computing distances, bearings, destinations, and geometric relationships between points, which is essential for location-based applications. The library includes geofencing capabilities to determine if points are inside or outside defined geographic areas.
Elixir developers building location-aware applications such as mapping services, logistics platforms, ride-sharing apps, or any system requiring geographic computations. It's also suitable for researchers or engineers working with geospatial data in Elixir.
Developers choose Geocalc for its comprehensive set of accurate geographic functions, extensible point protocol that works with various data structures, and performance-optimized implementation benchmarked for speed. It provides a pure Elixir solution without external dependencies for common geospatial calculations.
