What's your planet?
A question mark defines the end of a sentence. By definition it can't be in the middle. You're just touchy because you don't like to have your face rubbed in your obvious carelessnes in reading other peoples posts.

The distance between two points would just follow the equation d = sqrt [( xo-x)^2+(yo-y)^2]
Now, GPS is given in hours mins seconds isnt it? this turns into degrees?, just transform that into m or feet then compute the above calculation?
I can see the only tricky party being the square root algorithm, but maybe your chip's compiler provides something in a Math library

Anyways, keep us updated I might want to do this someday

Almost but consider, 1 degree of longitude at the equator is 60 Nautical Miles (69 statute miles), 1 degree at the poles is zero miles. So, it's not that straight forward to calculate.

Ah ok, just makes for a bigger equation

So are you saying that "what I am finding it difficult to figure out is will it be possible to do all this with Atmega16@11.0592MHz XTAL? perfectly or will I face throughput problems ." is two sentences with one question?

If so, you using different rules of English grammar than I was taught. To me, it is a single sentence with a ? in the middle.

Actually I did originally realize there was a question in there. I was just pointing out why others may not have, because of the curious sentence structure. I'm only touchy when someone accuses me of something I'm not.
