Not a question, just wanted to share: a Spatial macro for calculating a Great Circle path

Alteryx's spatial tools calculate distances based on the great circle path, but it doesn't draw lines based on that same math.

 

I made a tool that will create a line that follows the curvature of the earth.

 

This is useful for when you need to know the route a path takes (handy for knowing when/where you cross borders, or if it comes near areas of interest)

Here's an updated version of the macro. No major usability changes, but the logic is more streamlined/simplified
