Drop in the latest geodesic library from GeographicLib (version 1.44).
http://geographiclib.sourceforge.net/1.44/C/index.html The changes are: - Improve accuracy of calculations by evaluating trigonometric functions more carefully and replacing the series for the reduced length with one with a smaller truncation error. - The allowed ranges for longitudes and azimuths is now unlimited; it used to be [-540d, 540d). - Enforce the restriction of latitude to [-90d, 90d] by returning NaNs if the latitude is outside this range. - The inverse calculation sets s12 to zero for coincident points at pole (instead of returning a tiny quantity). This commit also includes a work-around for an inaccurate value for pi/180 in dmstor.c (see the definitions of DEG_IN and DEG_OUT in geod_interface.c).
