Dear All,
I have recently digitised linear features in Google earth that I have converted
from kml format to shape files. I wanted to tabulate the total distances of
these lines in gvSIG so I used the available facility in vector line tools in
Sextante. However, the distances were on average 95% less than the distances
noted in the features' properties in Google Earth. I then used gvSig's own
facility for determining lengths of polylines and these were the same as those
determined in Sextante. I'm working in WGS84 - so what could be causing the
differences? And which system is correct, Google Earth or gvSIG?
All the best,
Sal Garfi
