; Return the distance in meter between all np0 points P0 and all
; np1 points P1 on a sphere. If keyword /TWO_BY_TWO is given then
; returns the distances between number n of P0 points and number
; n of P1 points (in that case, np0 and np1 must be equal).
; Same as map_2points with the meter parameter but for n points
; without do loop.

; @categories Maps

; @param Lon0 {in}{required}
; @param Lat0 {in}{required}
; np0 elements vector. longitudes and latitudes of np0 points P0
;
; @param Lon1 {in}{required}
; @param Lat1 {in}{required}
; np1 elements vector. longitude and latitude of np1 points P1
;
; @keyword AZIMUTH
; A named variable that will receive the azimuth of the great
; circle connecting the two points, P0 to P1
;
; @keyword MIDDLE
; to get the longitude/latitude of the middle point between P0 and P1.
;
; @keyword RADIANS
; if set, inputs and angular outputs are in radians, otherwise degrees.
;
; @keyword RADIUS {default=6378206.4d0}
; If given, return the distance between the two points calculated using the
; given radius.
; Default value is the Earth radius.
;
; @keyword TWO_BY_TWO
; If given,then Map_nPoints returns the distances between number n of
; P0 points and number n of P1 points
; In that case, np0 and np1 must be equal.
;
; @returns
; An (np0,np1) array giving the distance in meter between np0
; points P0 and np1 points P1. Element (i,j) of the output is the
; distance between element P0[i] and P1[j].
; If keyword /TWO_BY_TWO is given then Map_nPoints returns
; an np-element vector giving the distance in meter between P0[i]
; and P1[i] (in that case, we have np0 = np1 = np) ; if /MIDDLE see this keyword.
