Hi:
I'll test this and get back to the list. Do we have any idea as to whether/when the extension(s) will become part of the official distribution?
Cheers
Sean.

Hi:
Ok, thanks, What (roughly) is the difference in precision? I'm using this to determine the distance between two buildings.

The sampes give an idea, but that is between cities (miles away). Between buildings the difference will be  less, but I've not tested it. So the best is to test that yourself (and the results are interesting for the list ;-) )
