Anatolii, It is hard to know how to answer your question without knowing what you mean by planar distance. For me, planar distance means a distance that you measured from a map. It is almost impossible to know what the geodesic distance for such a measurement is without going back and re-measuring it using a geodetically correct method. If you need to do this, the options are to calculate the distance using the latitude/longitude coordinates of the two points you measured the distance between, to use the geodetic method of the ArcMap measure tool to measure the distance on the map, or to create a custom azimuthal equidistant projection centered on your point of origin and then do the measurement with planar tools. If your planar distance was specified by a measurement on the ground, then you may need to consult with a geodetic surveyor on the adjustments required to convert the measured distance to a geodetic distance. I believe the adjustment will be very minor. If your planar distance was specified externally and not found by measurement, such as "I need to find a location 150,000 meters northeast of the site", then your planar distance probably really is a geodetic distance. Once you know the geodetic distance you want to find a point for, you may use that distance, with the azimuthal equidistant projection centered on your origin, as a planar distance to create the circle of points that are the correct distance from your point of origin.

Kelly, Thank you for your reply. This solution is OK, but it is not good. Now I have a large number of pop-ups to reconfigure. It would be better if the behavior of the pop-ups in the new viewer was consistent with their behavior in the old one and in webmap/viewer.html. Also, I think it is poor practice to have sections of the pop-up that can conflict with each other the way these do. If the little widget bar at the top can have text in it, it should be big enough to handle it and the text should be kept separate from the widgets.

The pop-up window in the new embedded map viewer has formatting problems. The text conflicts with the function widgets in the top section and the color from the bottom pane bleeds into the top to obscure text that wraps onto a second line. Can this be fixed?

I would like people to be able to click on my map at http://bit.ly/15LXIZh and see the elevation of the point they clicked, based on the Elevation layer.
