Actual distance ?

[polm]

my house and my freinds house.

I am toying around with some ideas for WiFi Point-to-Point with a neighbor friend of mine.

We live about .9 driving miles away from one another, but there are a couple twists and turns.

I would like to determine our elevation differences as well.


What resources do I need to accomplish this ?

you need a pigeon and some string

I was thinking GPS...

but maybe there are some other resources that could take our addresses as input ?

A Prescott works better if you have a good throwing arm.

Try to get a USGS topographical map of your area, but a road map would probably be fine. GPS would be best if you need a really accurate reading.

PM me the addresses...It'll take me a few but I can get it for you.

I was gonna say, there must be some site where you can input lat/long coords and get a distance between them 🙂

Okay, don't pm me the addresses..use that! 😉

That's essentially what I was going to do, but with our software and data here at work.

MapQuest is your friend.

Sorry, didn't read the complete post.
You need a GPS. It takes care of the elevation difference too.

Uhh.. 😕

Mapquest can do actual distance? Thats a new one on me.


Edit: Saw you edited your op. Anyway, yeah, the site I linked would be nice if it was a bit more exact.
