GetDistance()

Computes the great circle distance between two coordinates.

dist = GetDistance(coordinate c1, coordinate c2)

Argument	Contents
c1	First coordinate
c2	Second coordinate

A real number indicating the distance in the current map units (e.g., miles).

loc1 = Coord(-120000000, 45000000)

loc2 = Coord(-95000000, 37500000)

dist = GetDistance(loc1, loc2)

ShowMessage("The distance is " + String(dist) + " " + GetMapUnits())
