Conversion of Latitude and Longitude coordinates to Cartesian Coordinates.

Based on formulas by Peter H. Dana - 8/3/96
Units are kilometers

Latitude: 0
Longitude: 0
Elevation: 0

X: 6371
Y: 0
Z: 0


Latitude (decimal form)
Longitude (decimal form)
Elevation (meters) (optional)

The results will follow a right-handed coordinate system like the one below.

To find the distance between two points, I recommend using Vincenty's Formula.
