Hi André, I know that EPSG:4326 units are in degrees, so that I calculated the degree equvelant of 100m asuming my 100m lies on sphere.
I get what you mean but 100degree circle is really big but this is not the situation. As you can see from the comparison images, the radius is ok in one axis. Thank for your time.
