I know that a degree of lattitude is approx. 111km and a degree of longitude is approx 111km at the equator and goes to 0 at the poles. If I divide the distance the game gives me for lattitude by 111000 (in meters) the value comes close but doesn't match what the game puts in the messagebox (say for a radio contact report). The longitude part I haven't derived the mathematical formula for it yet. Can any math majors help me out here?
