function [dphi, dlambda, h] = togeod(a, finv, X, Y, Z)
%TOGEOD   Subroutine to calculate geodetic coordinates latitude, longitude,
%         height given Cartesian coordinates X,Y,Z, and reference ellipsoid
%         values semi-major axis (a) and the inverse of flattening (finv).
%
%[dphi, dlambda, h] = togeod(a, finv, X, Y, Z);
%
%  The units of linear parameters X,Y,Z,a must all agree (m,km,mi,ft,..etc)
%  The output units of angular quantities will be in decimal degrees
%  (15.5 degrees not 15 deg 30 min). The output units of h will be the
%  same as the units of X,Y,Z,a.
%
%   Inputs:
%       a           - semi-major axis of the reference ellipsoid
%       finv        - inverse of flattening of the reference ellipsoid
%       X,Y,Z       - Cartesian coordinates
%
%   Outputs:
%       dphi        - latitude
%       dlambda     - longitude
%       h           - height above reference ellipsoid
