Monique,

I sure do miss your classes. You know Legacy hasn't been working at all for me since the move to China, all I get is errors, wish you were here! I am going to have send an email with the error messages to tech support, it was working great before I left. Dont know if it's the vpn I have to use here or what.

Have a great day!

Mary Jane

Here are the instructions as per the Help in Legacy:

Distance and Bearing Calculator (Deluxe Edition only)

The Distance and Bearing Calculator is used to find the distance and compass direction between any two points on earth specified by a latitude and longitude. (See Latitude and Longitude for more information on this subject.) The calculator uses great circle spherical trigonometry to figure the shortest distance and direction between points.

The Distance and Bearing Calculator is reached by choosing Distance and Bearing Calculator from the Tools menu. It is also available by clicking the

Calculator button on the Master Location List, Adding or Editing Master Locations screen, and Address screen.

Finding the Distance Between Two Points

To find the distance and bearing from one point to another:

1. In the Latitude and Longitude of First Location box, enter the two coordinates of the starting location.

2. In the Latitude and Longitude of Second Location box, enter the two coordinates of the ending location.

3. Click the Calculate Distance and Bearing button. The distance between the points and the bearing from the first location to the second is displayed below the button.

(The latitude and longitude must be in the form of degrees, minutes and seconds. The degrees must be between 0 and 90, if a latitude and between 0 and 180, if a longitude. The minutes and seconds must be between 0 and 59. The seconds can have up to three decimal places after it. e.g. 681234.293)

Posting this again as didn’t get any responses to my query a week ago:

Hi

Just been reading this thread and think I am missing something here!

I have got as far as holding down two locations from the Master Location List, but that's it!

Which button do I then click to bring up the calculator to show both selected locations please?

Thanking you so much in advance.

Jemima

Yes, you'll have to scroll down to the next location.

When you start typing in the Find box, you've changed the focus from the location you were on.
