> Or you could use cosine corrected Pythagorean theorem.... APRSdos uses that, and that is why its maps are not elongated at higher latitudes as are some other clients. It's trivial to multiply all longitudes by a simple constant to make the maps more realistic. Here is the simplified distance calculation you can use in a PIC if all you are trying to do is estimate relative distance. Its good to about 80% relative accuracy: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/aprs/APRS-Distance.GIF Bob, WB4APR
