Learn to calculate precise distances and headings between any two GPS coordinates on Earth using the Haversine Equation in this 28-minute tutorial. Discover how to implement mathematical formulas that determine both the exact distance between GPS points and the compass heading (degrees from north) needed to navigate from one location to another. Master the practical application of these calculations as part of building a comprehensive GPS tracking system using a Raspberry Pi Pico W and Adafruit Ultimate GPS module. Explore the mathematical principles behind GPS coordinate calculations while working with real-world navigation scenarios that form the foundation for advanced GPS tracking projects.
