There are two sets of formulae for computing distances and bearings that the user may choose
Bearings in GPSMan are always geographic (True North).
In some situations, namely when computing the total distance
along a track having very small distances between consecutive points,
the Law of Cosines will yield results with large errors and therefore
it should only be used on very slow computers.
