Distance
We created, in Google
Earth, 22 placemarks with distances from each other ranging from 3.500
km to 6 meters. With the ruler tool, in GE, we made careful measurements.
Then we have compared these measurements with the ones made with GE-Path,
as presented in the figure below. You can download the Excel
file with the data (coordinates and distances) presented here (The
area data is also included) . You can download also the kml
file with the placemarks used.
Up to 1,000 km the distance error in
GE-Path is almost zero. In 3,500 km the error increases to -1% which corresponds
to 35 km.
We have choosen, around the world, six areas with size ranging from 200 square meters to more than 1 million square kilometers. We got the actual size of each area from information available in the internet. Each area was then measured with GE-Path. The error (%) is the difference between the actual area and the measured area divided by the actual area and multiplied by 100. You can download the Excel file with the data presented here (the distance data is also included) and the kml file with the areas coordinates.
The error ranges from -1% to 1% well distributed around the zero error line and seems to be due to the localization of the polygons (placemarks) in Google Earth.
