Hi all,

I know that Marble provides method to calculate distance between two points (from their Lat/Lon coordinates I guess) but I can't find it in the source code. Could you tell where it is ?
Maybe this calculation is only provided with the Measure Plugin ?

Thanks for your answers

Please someone ?

You can measure the length across an arbitrary number of points using

qreal GeoDataLineString::length( qreal planetRadius, int offset = 0 ) const;

Hello,
Thanks for your answer but this method returns only the distance following a great circle. What about a rhumb line distance ?

There is no support for calculating the rhumb line distance in Marble between two points. It would be great though if this feature was added. So if you feel like providing patches we'd gladly add this feature to Marble.

http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html might be helpful for the implementation. Didn't check it in detail, just remembering this site was useful a couple of times already.

Hm, I guess tessellation along rhumb lines would be helpful as well?
