Description

Provides a GeodeticCalculator.toGeodesicPath() method returning Bézier curves. The beginning of the curve (more specifically, the tangent at starting point) should be oriented toward the direction computed by getStartingAzimuth(). Likewise the end of the curve (more specifically, the tangent at ending point) should be oriented toward the direction given by getEndingAzimuth().
