Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Distance measurement tool in Paparazzi GCS

[Balázs GÁTI]

Dear Joseph,

if you choose to edit the flight plan in the GCS and you click on a 
waypoint, you'll get a window filled with the specification of the 
waypoint. You can change the reference to the position from WGS84 to any 
other waypoints. In this case you'll get the relative position in polar 
coordinates, namely distance and direction.

Regards,
 Balazs
