Re: [Maptitude] Distances in Lon/Lat using meters.

[Reinaldo Paul Perez Machado]

Maptitude - http://research.umbc.edu/~roswell/maptitude.html Giovanni: Thanks a lot. But I placed the problem wrongly, I did not understand what my programer was asking me. We need a way to make the same operation in Visual Basic, that is, we need to know an equation able to calculate the distance in Metric system in a map whose coordinates are in Lat/Lon, inside a dumb and silly CAD system, not inside Maptitude. Can you help?

We need to obtain the distance between to points in Maptitude, using the GISDK function GetDistance(p1,p2). Somebody can provide a detailed example of the use of this function? What is required is just the distance in meters, using geographic coordinates. Thanks, in advance, for your  collaboration.
