Hi Don,
I did not find functions for convertiing from radians to KM in the class you
gave(com.bbn.openmap.proj.Length).. Instead
com.bbn.openmap.geo.Geo has the functions for it, i have included the code
that i have used.
Thanks for helping me,
kedar
import com.bbn.openmap.proj.GreatCircle;
import com.bbn.openmap.LatLonPoint;
import com.bbn.openmap.geo.Geo;
public class GetCordinates
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
GreatCircle gc= null;// = new GreatCircle();
LatLonPoint lt = new LatLonPoint();
//float pi=3.1415f;
//float phi1=(((28.5f)*(pi))/(180.0f));
float phi1=(float)(Geo.radians(28.5f)); //start lat point
//float lam=(((-80.0f)*(pi))/(180.0f));
float lam=(float)(Geo.radians(-80.0f)); //start long point
//float c=(((150.0f)*(pi))/(180.0f));
float c =(float)(Geo.kmToAngle(150.0f)); //distance in radians
float Az=(float)(Geo.radians(-45.0f)); //Azimuth upper left
float AzLr=(float)(Geo.radians(135.0f)); //Azimuth Lower right
//finding the upper left latitude and longitude
lt = gc.spherical_between(phi1,lam,c,Az);
float upperlatit=lt.getLatitude();
float upperlongit =lt.getLongitude();
System.out.println("The upper left latitude and longitude points are
"+upperlatit+ " " +upperlongit);
//finding the lower Right latitude and longitude
lt = gc.spherical_between(phi1,lam,c,AzLr);
float lowerlatit=lt.getLatitude();
float lowerlongit =lt.getLongitude();
System.out.println("The Lower Right latitude and longitude points are
"+lowerlatit+ " " +lowerlongit);
}
}
