Geodetic Toolbox

Toolbox for angle, coordinate and date conversions and transformations. Version 2.99.

A collection of geodetic functions that solve a variety of problems in geodesy. Supports a wide range of common and user-defined reference ellipsoids. Most functions are vectorized. Most recent version can be found at <http://www.craymer.com/software/matlab/geodetic/>. Functions include:
