NAME

       gcb - calculate long and short path to a location

SYNOPSIS

       gcb units station1 station2

DESCRIPTION

       Gcb computes long/short path distance and heading given the latitude and longitude (degrees and minutes).
       You  must  input  the  lat/long  of  the two stations.  The output will then be relative from station1 to
       station2.

       Input the two station lat/longs using the following format: ddd.mmHddd.mmG,  lead/lagging  zeros  can  be
       left out.

       d = Degrees, m = Minutes, H = Hemisphere (N or S), G = Greenwich (W or E)

       Units is 'n' for Nautical, 'k' for kilometers, and 's' for Statute.

EXAMPLES

       gcb n 35.19n97.27w 0s0e           (Moore to Prime/Equator)

       gcb n 35.19N97.27W 38.51n77.02W   (Moore to Washington D.C., mixed case)

       gcb n 33.56n118.24w 55.45n37.35e  (L.A. to Moscow)

       gcb n 35N70W 35N71W       (No decimal points used, all uppercase)
