I've been wondering lately whether it wouldn't be to stop waiting for this work and instead rough in things based on spherical geometry. You do the calculations necessary to figure out the proximate points using spherical maths, and then do the final distance calculation between the points on the spheroid. Likely to be close enough to correct to be indistinguishable. -- Paul Ramsey Refractions Research http://www.refractions.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 250-383-3022 Cell: 250-885-0632 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
