Frequently Asked Questions about geodist()
Is the geodist() function free to use in SimLab?
The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open geodist() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.
Do I need to install MATLAB to use geodist()?
No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The geodist() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.
What does geodist() do?
Geodesic distance in meters on the WGS84 ellipsoid. It is a MATLAB®-compatible mapping function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: m = geodist(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2).
Can I run geodist() in my browser?
Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls geodist(), and run it. This function’s calculation runs locally in the browser. SimLab session analytics, sharing, feedback, and eligible acceleration have separate network boundaries.
