Returns: An Distance2Tuple`(distance, initial)`. Raises: `TypeError` - The `other` point is not `LatLon`. `ValueError` - Incompatible datum ellipsoids.

NED elevation is only available for locations within the Conterminous US (CONUS). See Also: Function elevations.elevation2 and method `Ellipsoid.Rgeocentric` for further details and possible `error`s.
