Tobias, Thank you for that suggestion. I am now using the geographiclib routines in Shape Tools' XY to Line routine that was released today. I am still including Great Circle as an option and if you zoom in you can see the differences. http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/shapetools/ All the best,

2017-03-17 Thread C Hamilton
Recently I implemented an 'XY to Line' function in the ShapeTools plugin. This has been requested several times and I needed it so I implemented it. See http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/shapetools/ XY to Line is similar to the ArcGIS tool with the same name.
