That's exactly what should happen. The shortest distance between two points on the globe does not appear straight on a projected map. (but "Moscow should always appear on the left"!) Have a look at - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_circle This is mapping, your Euclidean geometry 'nearest point' example doesn't really apply. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
