[PD] haversine formula in Pd

[Max]

Yes, I just realized too. Sorry for the confusion.
So it seems it is possible to implement it in Pd! Even with only 32bit
floats.

Attached all three working implementations and I added also the
equirectangular approximation which should be faster and still accurate
for short distances.

Thank you everyone very much!
