Bugfix for algorithm in get_distance()
Fixed bug in the Haversine function in get_distance() based on algorithm at https://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html and added bounds to the 'a' term to avoid floating point errors for antipodal points. Signed-off-by: Doug Junkins <junkins@foghead.com>
