As you've already noted, distance depends on latitude. So first figure out if you want the top, middle or bottom width of your bounds. Or work them all out and find the biggest or smallest. If you have bounds, you have the compenent lat/longs to define the two points you want to measure between. If you want to calculate yourself, use the Haversine formula. Or get the API to do it for you http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GLatLng.distanceFrom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
