I would prefer to use the latest and greatest solution to not waste energy/effort.

The best I have found so far seems to be:

https://proj.org/geodesic.html

which came from:

https://geographiclib.sourceforge.io/doc/library.html#languages

and

https://github.com/geographiclib/geographiclib-c

which leads to apperently the latest and greatest solution:

https://proj.org/zreferences.html#id25

Which referes to the latest and greatest algorithms:

Karney, C. F. F. Algorithms for geodesics. Journal of Geodesy, 87(1):43–55, 2013. doi:10.1007/s00190-012-0578-z.

Reading it now, lot's of math to investigate ! =D

Nanometer accuracy ! LOL.

Bye,
