## What is this?

Jord is a [Haskell](https://www.haskell.org) library that implements various geographical position calculations using the algorithms described in [Gade, K. (2010). A Non-singular Horizontal Position Representation](http://www.navlab.net/Publications/A_Nonsingular_Horizontal_Position_Representation.pdf).

## How do I build it?

If you have [Stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/),
then:
```sh
$ stack build --test
```

## How do I use it?

[See documentation on Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/jord/docs/Data-Geo-Jord.html)

```haskell
import Data.Geo.Jord

-- destination position from 531914N0014347W having travelled 500Nm on a heading of 96.0217°
destination (readGeoPos "531914N0014347W") (decimalDegrees 96.0217) (nauticalMiles 500)

-- distance between 54°N,154°E and its antipodal position
let p = latLongDecimal 54 154
distance p (antipode p)
```

Jord comes with a REPL (built with [haskeline](https://github.com/judah/haskeline)):

```sh
$ jord-exe
jord> finalBearing (destination (antipode 54°N,154°E) 54° 1000m) 54°N,154°E
jord> angle: 126°0'0.0"
```
