Hi,

I am running into an issue with the Distance and Direction widget where the angle returned by the line measurement is not consistent with the angle returned by the Measure tool in Pro, the azimuth/heading measured in Google Earth, and even within the Distance and Direction widget itself when drawing the line interactively (but when not having yet completed the line by clicking).

To demonstrate, here is a screenshot of the measurement between two points in Pro (35°):

Here is a screenshot of the measurement performed in Google Earth (34.7°):

Here is the result displayed by the widget before clicking to finish the line (34.24°):

And here is the result for the exact same line after clicking to finish drawing the line (41.6°):

Any ideas what could be causing this discrepancy, particularly within the widget itself?

Thanks!

I should also note that I tried this with a web app that I created using one of the WGS84 basemaps as well, with the same result.
