@tmcw with this pull, Leaflet.geodesy plugin can be considered obsolete (at least for rendering true circles). Approximating with ellipses is as accurate, and looks and performs better (2 arcs vs polygon with many points).

I think real-world area calculations and lat/lng offsets are quite useful - would those also be pulled into L?

@tmcw not sure, maybe it's better to leave such stuff in a plugin, along with many other possible functions (calculate accumulated distance of a polyline, perimeter of a polygon, generate polygon buffer from a polyline, etc.)

I think there is a problem, somewhere, with L.Circle. If I add a circle with given latitude and longitude, and a marker with the same latitude and longitude, the circle is reversed symmetrically about the equator, but only if the radius of the circle has a high value. Plus the projection seems faulty, in this case.

Maybe you could look at this example: http://map.volcanis.me/iss.html

@reventl0v is there a use case for using circles of 20000km radius?

@mourner Yes. For example to represent the area of the Earth lit by the Sun

Wow, I haven't thought about that use case. Circle was meant for smaller values, as it's implemented as approximation of circles with ellipses. Check out https://github.com/mapbox/leaflet-geodesy
