#### strategy::distance::cross_track

Strategy functor for distance point to segment calculation.

###### Description

Class which calculates the distance of a point to a segment, for points on a sphere or globe

###### Synopsis

    template<typename CalculationType, typename Strategy>
    class strategy::distance::cross_track
    {
      // ...
    };

###### Template parameter(s)

Parameter | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
typename CalculationType | void | numeric type for calculation (e.g. high precision); if void then it is extracted automatically from the coordinate type and (if necessary) promoted to floating point
typename Strategy | haversine<double, CalculationType> | underlying point-point distance strategy, defaults to haversine
