Jim, you make an excellent point that I hadn'e considered. However, in my blog entry on the topic, I'm actually doubling the size of the rectangle for the longitude, so I'm doing
@lat1-(@[EMAIL PROTECTED]) so even though my range factor technically should be larger, I actually double it anyway, and that compensates for pretty much any different (except maybe in Alaska, I'll have to check that) The factor I'm multiplying by is 0.028985507 Northern alaska would be 0.52ish so I suppose I should actually multiply by 4 (4/69) to compensate.
