Gnomonic charts and distances
From: Bob Goethe

Is a great circle course, as laid out on a gnomonic chart, useful in determining distances?

For instance, if I draw a line on a gnomonic chart from Vancouver to London, can I measure half way along that line and say "That is indeed the half-way point in a journey that follows this course-line"?

Thanks!

Bob
