How to convert latitude or longitude to meters?
- by Adam Taylor
Hi,
If I have a latitude or longitude reading in standard NMEA format is there an easy way / forumla to convert that reading to meters, which I can then implement in Java (J9)?
Edit:
Ok seems what I want to do is not possible /easily/, however what I really want to do is:
Say I have a lat and long of a way point and a lat and long of a user is there an easy way to compare them to decide when to tell the user they are within a /reasonably/ close distance of the way point? I realise reasonable is subject but is this easily do-able or still overly maths-y?
Thanks,
Adam
