Mapping with FM 8.5 Webviewer

[GarryBargsley]

Hello everyone...

 

Is there anyway that you can suggest on how I can get the distance from point A to point B using FM 8.5. I know how to show a map from point A to point B, but I cannot figure out how to get the distance back as maybe a variable or stored to a field.

 

Also, does anyone know how to do maps from point A to point B to point C to point D and back to point A? And also a way to capture the distance between each point.

 

If not a FileMaker solution, I am open for other ideas...

 

Thanks

Garry B

Hi, garry.

You speak about points on the plane?

If such each point on the plane must have coordinates (x,y) and distance between two points you can calculate such:

A(x1,y1)

B(x2,y2)

DistanceAB=sqr((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2).

That's nice, but the planet Earth is not flat.

 

Try something like this?
