Hi, I would like to know if there is a simple method for calculating a new set of coordinates with an existing set plus offset (and direction).
E.g. I would like to get the coordinate 20 meter east of the current location. I would expect to pass a distance (e.g. 20 meters) and a bearing - with respect for a spherical Earth. Such a function would be a complement to GLatLng.distanceFrom(). My mission is to fetch data from a database in the proximity of a (draggable) marker. I would like to search an area of something like 50x50 meter. Even though the distance between two points depend on the latitude I only need a simple rectangle. Pretty much just like GMap2.getBounds() "For extra credit" :-) This might be in the same category: I have thought of creating a "zone" around a GPolygon from GDirections. The idea is once again to fetch data in the proximity of the route. In this case a simple rectangle boundary would not be sufficient. My first though was just to crudely create a rectangle around each line based on the bearing and start- and end-point. - Peter Brodersen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
