Can you modify that java applet to give all distances from San Francisco (Dana's House, preferably) to all 220 points?

Also, if you look at the indo website...the km milage in km adds up to 3*7 maybe this is an indication to go with KM.

I've been WAY too busy with work to do any data analysis or in-depth reading of the threads, but I'm curious about something which may have been overlooked so far. All of the thoughts concerning the coordinates -- either the entire list, or considered pairwise -- have been centered on distances.

However, as everyone remembers from math, two points define a vector, and although magnitude (distance) is one property of a vector, DIRECTION is the other. Has anyone done an analysis of the coordinates to find out if there is some pattern or meaning to the heading from one to the other?

Possible ingame tie-ins...

Re: Vectors - This would be incredible, if the pairs of coordinates created vectors all pointing away from (or towards) a single point - I'm sure that would have been found by now though

Somebody here asked what distance measure a Navigation AI would use.

Well thinking logically, a deep-space travelling AI from the future would probably use light years...

It's rather farfetched, but perhaps the distance in lightseconds between the points would add up to a few minutes or so meaning something...dunnow, just thinking out loud.
