But if you mean distance in degrees it would be 'x mod 360' Op 29 sep. 2011 17:42 schreef JackN j...@jacknorth.com het volgende: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group. To post to this group, send email to

Distance is the space between two points. You don't have enough info to calculate the distance. On Sep 27, 9:58 am, Lew Bloch lewisbl...@google.com wrote: On Tuesday, September 27, 2011 7:29:09 AM UTC-7, saex wrote: there is a function or something on Java to calculate the distance between

I would like to reiterate what JackN said -- you don't have enough info. But a good place to start would here: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html For those interested, a routine for the distance between two points (on Earth) in kilometers is: public double gps2m(double lat_a,

If you already have the two numbers in degress that are between 0 and 360... int iDiff = Math.abs( degree1 - degree2 ); If you need to find them from points or latitude/longitude, then you are entering into linear math and you would need to look at things like:

This is not an android question, nor is it even a java question. But I can try to help anyway. You would probably get more help in a general purpose programming forum such as codeguru. Anyway, you didn't give enough information. Do you always want to go clockwise or counter-clockwise from the
