Distanceto

[JTmartins]

Hello guys,

Why am I getting values such as 7.1219963E-9 when using the DistanceTo function ?

I've tryed so many ways, read all the forum posts I found and always get this values !!!!

I have lats and longs for both points in a DB stored in format as this example :

point 1 : Latitude : 51.827975 Longitude 10.7910733333333
Point 2 : Latitude : 51.8276666666667 Longitude : 10.7919216666667

I've tryed with this coordinates or converting them to minutes, always getting the same result...

I'm getting nanometers ?????:sign0060:

Help...:sign0163:

Thanks

This code returns 67.xx:

Dim l1, l2 As Location
l1.Initialize2(51.827975, 10.7910733333333)
l2.Initialize2(51.8276666666667, 10.7919216666667)
Log(l1.DistanceTo(l2))

Thanks Erel,

I had latitude and Longitude as double...Changed to String and it worked.

I thought this would be automatic.

It is automatic. As you can see in my code the numbers are doubles.

I believe in you

I believe in you, and I've read that B4A type casting is automatic, and never had problems before. Only with DistanceTo

But the truth is that when I change to double...it gives me strange numbers, and when changed to strings works properly.

Never mind for now. It works. If I have problems with this, I'll come back here.

Thanks

No type casting is needed if you use doubles as this method expects doubles. If you like you can post your code. The problem is somewhere else.
