Re: Dead straight lines on hitmaps.
I wonder what combination of cities is most likely to produce a straight line? And what three cities are most likely to produce a right angle triple? I'm sure we can figure this out somehow.

Re: Dead straight lines on hitmaps.
This one is my best...614 km straight to the north.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Hits between Vienna and Munich are producing straight horizontal lines:bob9 wrote:I wonder what combination of cities is most likely to produce a straight line?

Re: Dead straight lines on hitmaps.
the real shortest path between the two places by the way is inclined over 9° to the North in Spain and 8° to the North in Greece, and it goes exactly through between Corse and SardiniaCNGL wrote:This one is almost horizontal: http://es.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=96442268.

my longest west-east hit however, which shows as a really horizontal line in EBT, goes always south, with 0°04′40″ at its western and 3°17′04″ at its eastern point

Re: Dead straight lines on hitmaps.
To my knowledge, EBT uses the great circle distance to calculate this distance, but then shows the hits as straight lines on what looks to be a Mercator projection map.androl wrote:the real shortest path between the two places by the way is inclined over 9° to the North in Spain and 8° to the North in Greece, and it goes exactly through between Corse and SardiniaCNGL wrote:This one is almost horizontal: http://es.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=96442268.
My NIG stats have finally disappeared. My EBTST stats are still available.
