%---------- Define lat,lon,ht of 1st (from) point(s)

lat1=dms2rad([53 12 46.10520]);      % Enter latitude
lon1=dms2rad([-105 55 50.52000]);    % Enter longitude
h1=468.986;                          % Enter ell. height
n1=max(size(lat1));

%---------- Define lat,lon,ht of 2st (to) point(s)

lat2=dms2rad([53 13 14.69151]);      % Enter latitude
lon2=dms2rad([-105 55 45.44058]);    % Enter longitude
h2=450.0018;                         % Enter ell. height
n2=max(size(lat1));

%---------- Compute az,va,dist between points

[a,b,e2,finv]=refell('NAD83');
[az,va,d]=inverse(lat1,lon1,h1,lat2,lon2,h2,a,e2);
azdms=rad2dms(az);
vadms=rad2dms(va);
