Hello,

I'm doing an application which needs to calculate, which towns are e.g. 20
km away from one town. I tried to use the formula which is written in the
other Post, but I think this is too complex.
Now I'm calculating the distance between my Position to every other town.
This takes some time. I'm searching for a more suitable way to do this.

Can tell me anyone where I can find information about this?

Thanks

You might find what you need in a script that I uploaded earlier:

This is something that geostatistical packages do quite well. Several free
software packages out there, and many commercial packages. Take a look at
http://gislounge.com/ll/geostatistics.shtml and http://www.gammadesign.com/
for starters.
