💡 Great Circle vs Rhumb Line

🔵 Great Circle (Haversine)

The shortest distance between two points on Earth's surface. Aircraft use this route. The bearing constantly changes along the path.

🟢 Rhumb Line (Loxodrome)

A path of constant compass bearing. Slightly longer but easier to navigate with traditional compass. Ships historically used this.
