                                           LatLon

An ellipsoidal LatLon similar to ellipsoidalVincenty.LatLon but using Charles F. F. Karney's Python geographiclib to compute the geodesic distance, initial and final bearing (azimuths) between two given points or the destination point given a start point and an initial bearing.

Note: This LatLon's methods require the geographiclib package.

Arguments: `other` - The other point (LatLon). `wrap` - Wrap and unroll longitudes (`bool`). Returns: A Bearing2Tuple`(initial, final)`. Raises: `ImportError` - Package geographiclib not installed or not found. `TypeError` - The `other` point is not LatLon. `ValueError` - If this and the `other` point's Datum ellipsoids are not compatible.

### destination (self, distance, bearing, height=None) |
