The rule calculates distances using the Great-Circle Distance (GCD) method. Essentially, it determines the shortest path between two points on the Earth's surface, akin to a straight line drawn on a globe. This method accounts for the Earth's curvature, providing precise measurements compared to simpler distance calculations.
The distance is calculated in meters for each location, and the information is passed along in an inline event to the next ruleset. The applied formula is the Haversine formula.
