Hi,
Can anyone help with this,
I want to translate the difference between two Lon/Lat coords into feet.

I understand that 1 minute latitude is 6080 feet.
And that 1 minute Longitude will be less than this, depending on how far
from the pole it is.

Does anyone know the formula to determine this?

Thanks,
Richard.
