Re: Hana SPS07 and spatial data

Hi Gerrit,

Following has been a very useful site for me which is a lovely little reference for geo distance calculations (I implement some of the examples in Javascript with success).

Calculate distance and bearing between two Latitude/Longitude points using Haversine formula in JavaScript

Anyhow, plugging John O'Groats (top of UK) and Land's End (bottom left UK) gives 969.3km using the great circle distance ellipsoid formula:

970Km I believe is the generally recognised distance between these two points.  Just wondering why 996Km with SRID 4326.
