    Ok, I'm awake now and have remedied my mistake. Checks out to 8805.18 in my environment (don't have Matlab)

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    Well, only way I can get significant reading is by including dis = (dis)*DEG; I then get 9248.97, otherwise it's a silly 165 Sorry, but I've gotta hit the sack now but this is doing my head in, so we need to get to the bottom of it. Thanks for all so far...:tiphat:

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    It's just by compiling with "my code"....... Am I on the same page here ? Don't understand how this happens..... Hope I'm not leading you a merry dance here..........

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    (Kourou --> Overberg - Best I could do) Yours: 8811 km great circle distances Mine: 9255 km (Only 5% diff now, not 11% ? ) True ?: 10,007.54339801029 km (but this is straight line distance isn't it ? ^ ^ ^ )

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    Now I'm confused :lol: Just to clarify: Do you mean you are getting the same results as me (a difference) using the two codes? Or are you getting the same result with both codes? When I use your code (plus substitution of "dis = dis *6371;" for "sp->ref->Size();" ) the readout agrees with...

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    As I used the same old "dist = dist *6371;" and we ended in sync, I guess difference is due to something in the calcs. Way above my head to spot though. Thanks Doctor for your interest, appreciated.

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    Dunno. I ended up adding this dist = dist *6371; deleting sp->adist * ref->Size();

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    Urwumpe: Apologies, I didn't implement fabs correctly. Is fine now. Marijn: I'll take a look there later, (RL taking over for now) Sounds like the small distance might be the culprit. Thanks all. ---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ---------- martins...

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    Gentlemen, sorry for the delay, have been checking a few things. Urwumpe: I've tried 'fabs(longitude-tgtlng)' and it sent the calcs haywire. martins: By 'the input' do you mean the result of line 1 ? That does seem to be within -1 && 1 always. Yes, when it doesn't read "-1.#IND" it gives a...

    SDK Question Distance calc overrun ?

    Hi People. Quick question, probably not quick answer..... On a distance calculation I'm getting a value of "-1.#IND" intermittently. It's messing up an autopilot. Is it an overrun of some kind. If so, what do I need to do....? Code used: dis = sin((latitude)*RAD) * sin((tgtlat)*RAD) +...
