Distances from place to place

Has anyone created a map or a program where I can put two locations on a map of Golarion and it will spit out the miles between the locations.

On the same note has anyone used GIMP with a map of Golarion?

Thanks!


Haven't seen one. Most Paizo official maps have distance rulers, though. They should be sufficient, unless you're looking for really complex road-tracking systems.

More specifically, you'll want the Golarion interactive maps that Garrett has put together. He has both a tiled version that is super-snappy and prettier but with a little less detail, and a vector version which is slower and runs client-side but has some more detail options.

Edited to add: both have ruler tools which you can use to make measurements directly on the map.

If you want to be able to enter two cities or POI's and get a great-circle distance between them, that's something I can create pretty easily.

For now, you can look up the latitude/longitude of major cities and a selection of points of interest, and then use any great circle calculator on the web like this one to get a distance.

I was looking more for like the chart in a road map but this is much better.

Example I was looking for:

A 0 10 20 30
B 10 0 10 20
C 20 10 0 10
D 30 20 10 0
A B C D

Hmm. I could dynamically generate something like that. Pick, say, two or three countries/regions and it can spit out a table of distances between all cities in the selected regions. It's a good idea.

It might take me a week or two to get to it, but I like the idea and I'll get it done and note this thread when it's ready.
