Thanks for taking a look at it, Andrew.  Apparently, I've forgotten my
basic geometry maths!

Perhaps my ruler isn't very accurate, but when I open that link above,
the circle is about 3 meters short.  I adjusted the cof param to try
something like 1200 and it was off by ~67 meters.

Any advice on how to get a more accurate representation?

Thanks again,
Todd
