<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 size=3 face="Times New Roman">Hello, Lanzo. In which area will your boat be navigating? I mean, which coast are you talking about? It should be easy to get a reasonably good shapefile of that shoreline and you would be permanently informed of the distance to the nearest vertex.</FONT></DIV>

I was curious<BR>> if, in your opinion, it could be possible to constantly show the distance<BR>> between me and the nearest point on the coast line. This would be important<BR>> because in my country (and i guess everywhere) there are rules about the<BR>> little boats distances from the coast and I cannot overcome 3 nautical<BR>> miles.<BR>><BR>> I know it should be possible to show the distances between my present<BR>> position and any given point, but what about something always displaying the<BR>> distances between my position and the nearest point on the coast?<BR>><BR>> is there maybe any more in-topic forum where i can ask this?<BR>><BR>> Thank you very much for any answer!<BR>> bye! :)<BR>> --<BR>> View this message in context: <A href="http://n2.nabble.com/which-gps-app-can-do-this--tp3169715p3169715.html">http://n2.nabble.com/which-gps-app-can-do-this--tp3169715p3169715.html</A><BR>> Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com.<BR>><BR>><BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Openmoko community mailing list<BR>> community@lists.openmoko.org<BR>> <A href="http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community">http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community</A><BR>><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Openmoko community mailing list<BR>community@lists.openmoko.org<BR><A href="http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community">http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community</A><BR></FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
