= LAT_LON, THE LATITUDE LONGITUDE DISTANCE CALCULATOR =
~~~ ~~~
With latitude and longitude input, LAT_LON will calculate distances
between cities. It is of value to genealogists who with this program
can pinpoint their ancestral town by its proximity to nearby cities.
Over the years many political boundaries in Europe and the USSR have
changed several times. For this reason it may be impossible for the
family researcher to locate an ancestor's town on current maps. The
gazetteer "Where Once We Walked" which lists variant names, also lists
the location of each town by latitude and longitude. Thus a town can
be linked to its present-day identity and LOCATION. -... -.-
