What is the difference between the azimuth from "geodetic2aer" and "azimuth" functions in matlab?
In the following example, I set the first point latitude, logintude, and altitude as lat0, long0, and h0 and those of the second point as lat, long, and h. Using "geidetic2aer" gives an azimuth of 238.08 deg while using "azimuth" gives 237.99 deg. Are the azimuth returnd by these two functions supposed to be the same or am I missing something about their meaning? I know "azimuth" returns the angle for the great circle path.
wgs84 = wgs84Ellipsoid;
lat0 = 46.017;
lon0 = 7.750;
h0 = 1673;
lat = 45.977;
lon = 7.658;
h = 4531;
format shortG
[az,elev,slantRange] = geodetic2aer(lat,lon,h,lat0,lon0,h0,wgs84)
az1= azimuth(lat0,lon0,lat,lon)

Ran in:
@MatG, azimuth, by default, assumes the Earth is a sphere. geodetic2aer() ias using wgs84 spheroid, in your usage. If you tell azimuth to use wgs84, they give the same result.
wgs84 = wgs84Ellipsoid;
lat0 = 46.017;
lon0 = 7.750;
h0 = 1673;
lat = 45.977;
lon = 7.658;
h = 4531;
format shortG
[az,elev,slantRange] = geodetic2aer(lat,lon,h,lat0,lon0,h0,wgs84);
az1= azimuth(lat0,lon0,lat,lon,wgs84);
fprintf('geodetic2aer: az=%.2f. azimuth(): az=%.2f.\n',az,az1);
geodetic2aer: az=238.08. azimuth(): az=238.08.
Try it.
