http://ukga.com/news/view.cfm?contentId=2197 This article claims that it is 1,300 nautical miles from London to St.John's. Is this accurate? Two different mapping programs I have give the distance to be more like 2,000 nautical miles. Which one is right, and if my software is wrong, does anyone know of any good software that will give me accurate measures of distance between any 2 points on the globe? -- Chris W Bring Back the HP 15C http://hp15c.org Not getting the gifts you want?

BTW I am using Street Atlas USA 2004. While it doesn't have any roads outside the USA/Canada it does have all the country boundaries and major cities in the world. -- Chris W Bring Back the HP 15C http://hp15c.org Not getting the gifts you want?
