World Map

[valvika]

It is Mercator World Map.

If you press in any two points of map, then you can see distant between this points.

If you press key-SPACE and mouse-Click then you can see lat/long of this point.

Your comment., pls.

Thanks.

thats cool

would be nice if the map zoomed as you dragged the button (ie not just onRelease) and if the distance was also shown outside of the map area so you didnt have to zoom in to read it

Cool, looks good. Just dont like how it gets really jagged upon movement.

What Headshotz said... the movement/scrolling could do with being a bit smoother. Aside from that, good job! Keep working on it, you'll get there :)

How are you getting the distance between the two points?

[valvika]

Thanks all.

I use lat/lon and I expect that GLOBE is equal Ellipsoid WGS84 .

I was assuming it was something more complicated than that..

Do you know else more exactly?
Look at this method on map-Googl's screenShort ( Chicago )

The mistake of calculations less of 0.001 ( lat/lon ).

The reason it caught my attention is because I was once working on an application that needed to determine driven milage between 2 points...never got it to work..and I was avoiding google mapping tools cause they wanted way too much money..

This "World Map" is only toy. It is using prepare technology.
Now we develop the free fission USA on "delivery areas" of the commercial agents. And quick determination of such area using Address of customer.

@Cota: Couldnt you just use some trig and a few other things?
