Not only is it tricky, it has nothing to do with the Maps API. It's a spherical geometry problem. Here's some assistance with distances in spherical geometry: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html However, before going there it might be a good idea to visualise what the line should look like -- I guess it's some sort of parabola. I've no idea what that sort of line is for or how it will be useful, which doesn't help me visualise it. Given that a line contains an infinite number of points, working out how to choose which points to use to approximate the line isn't easy either. Best of luck. A better forum to try, if you can find one, is a group devoted to pure maths and geometry. Once you know how to calculate the line, *this* group might be able to assist with visualising it on a map. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
