No. "A spherical triangle is a figure formed on the surface of a sphere by three great circular arcs intersecting pairwise in three vertices" From: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalTriangle.html Your example, (0,0; 87,0; 0,180), puts all three points on the same great circle and therefore is not a spherical triangle. -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
