I think this has been discussed before, but I just wanted to double-check... am I correct in thinking that operations like "distance" do not produce useful results when working in a lat/lon coordinate system?
I.E. they produce results in "degrees" but since a degree is not a constant distance along the surface of the earth, it can't be compared usefully with any other distance. I know PostGIS has a "DistanceSphere" function that will calculate distance (in meters) across the surface of a sphere between two lat/lon points, is there anything similar in JTS? Or another library I might use? Thanks, Jeff
