In matlab:

>> geodetic2aer(1,2,3,[4 5],[6 7],[8 9], wgs84Ellipsoid, "degrees")

ans =

  233.3900  231.6437


In Octave mapping toolbox:

octave:1> geodetic2aer(1,2,3,[4 5],[6 7],[8 9], wgs84Ellipsoid, "degrees")
error: geodetic2aer: non-matching dimensions of geodetic locations and AER
target points
error: called from
    geodetic2aer at line 132 column 7



Probably a quick fix to allow either the local or target to be a scalar and
then ones() multiple it to the dimension of the other if it's a vector.  I
don't what matlab will do with higher dimensions.
