How is the distance calculated?

The distance is calculated using the Haversine formula, which accounts for the Earth's curvature to provide the shortest great-circle distance.

Can I find the closest landmark from a list?

Yes, you can use the `get_distance_to_landmark_collection` tool to identify the nearest landmark from a provided array of coordinates.

Does it support bearing calculations?

Yes, the `get_distance_and_bearing` tool provides the compass bearing (0-360 degrees) required to reach a target destination.

This MCP server provides precise navigational calculations based on the Haversine formula. It allows AI agents to determine the shortest distance between two geographic points, calculate the required compass bearing, and estimate travel time based on speed. Use get_distance_and_bearing to find distance and direction, calculate_estimated_travel_time for duration, verify_navigation_feasibility to check heading constraints, and get_distance_to_landmark_collection to find the nearest point in a list.
