Lat/Long in MapPoint 2002
Chris Gebhardt shares some insights into how to circumvent the lack of a lat/long support in MP. "There are ways to
ascertain the lat/long using simple geometry and trigonometry."
Greetings all, I too have been extremely frustrated with lack of a lat/long in MP. I
thoroughly understand Microsoft's reasoning as it is contractual between MS
and their partners. However, as lccox pointed out, there are ways to
ascertain the lat/long using simple geometry and trigonometry. Rather than
tell you about it or how to do it, I have decided to share the code with
you.
Below, you will see the GetLatLong procedure I call from a form. If
anyone is interested, I have a complete VB Project that shows how to use
this code. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
