The 'geo-initial position' algorithm gives the true distances but I need it in relative main. Any input is appreciated.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 19 Mar 2014 20:05:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/distance-between-nodes-in-relative-main-algorithm/m-p/332305#M3537 RM 2014-03-19T20:05:40Z Re: Distance between nodes in relative main algorithm https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/distance-between-nodes-in-relative-main-algorithm/m-p/332306#M3538 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The Relative Main Line algorithm works with relative distances. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>For the main line, its length and the distance between the nodes along it are quite respected.
