A long shot, but would do what you just said. I didn't know it was needed that way round, though can see the point,... Now.
If you have map coordinates, or just uK complete postcode, I still have a page I wrote years ago, for distence and direction calculations, and it holds,... only the first part of the postcode now I think of it, so can cover quite large areas, if in Scotland for example. http://hoh.me.uk/geo sample follows:- >From WV11, to WV12: >From - lat:52.62, Long:-2.07; To - Lat:52.61, Long:-2.04. _______________________________________________________________ PAGE HEADLINE: Distance and Bearing: 1.44 Miles 2.31 Kilometers 1.25 Nautical Miles Bearings: 118 degrees Great-Circle bearing, and 118 degrees Rhumb-Line bearing. Reciprocal of Great-Circle bearing is 298 degrees. end of Sample. Ariadne and even the normal iPhone compass can give degree directions. Rhumb line bearings are as shown on flat charts, Great Circle is how ships and planes travel around the globe. I had to understand this before grasping why a plane to the uS flew over the scottish borders first. Hth, BobH. Ps: these pages are code minimised to use on iPhone while out and about without burning off too much cell data. ----- Original Message ----- From: "goshawk on horseback" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2016 8:34 PM Subject: Re: nearest station type app? if you want the closest one to you, then it is fine, but it is just about useless if you are trying to do what I am, which is to try to find how far away places are from there nearest stations before actually going there and being on location, as it were.
