Hi Lee,

My Google Earths heading reading for a diagonal of a perfect square seems to be a little out, in that if you construct a perfect square using their ruler system it gives a 44.85 degree heading for the diagonal.

So is that a Google Earth algorithm bias that is trying to compensate for operating on a sphere ? , or maybe a genuine fault with their system, there is nothing wrong with their distance measurements as the length of the diagonal is spot on to what a calculator says it should be using the square root of two.

Could it be Google Earths use of decimals when giving a heading in degrees instead of minutes and seconds ?

Are you using Google Earth to run your 45.36 degree line ?, do you get 44.85 degree heading in a square ?.
