i need some help with google earth
    #8484965 - 06/04/08 07:28 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

is there any way to find the distance between a set of points i have located on google earth?

or maybe another program in which i introduce each point's coordinates and then it calculates distances between all points.

even better would be some program to which i import my google earth places and does the calculations.

There is, but it only calculates linear distance.

It wont do distance along say a road route between two points. Well it will, but you have to manually do all of the way points.

Up at the top there is a button called 'ruler', or you can go to 'tools' > 'ruler'

There are two options, Line, and Path.

Line is just distance between two points.

Path will allow you to click on multiple points, and will give you the total distance of all of the straight lines. So click on a start point, then a point where you would turn, then the next turn, and so on.

You can choose the unit too, be it miles, or kilometers, even inches.

yeah, linear distance that i need and i knew about the ruler but it's not what i need. maybe i didn't explain myself correctly, here's what i need:

i have points a-e and i need distance between each point.

a
b b
c c c
d d d d
e e e e e

so in the end, i'll have a half matrix kinda like that but with the distances. the "d" in bold represents the linear distance between b and d.

now, i could do that with the ruler if it were a small number of points, but right know i alre4ady have 100+ points so using the ruler wouldn't be practical.
