The code is open source and can by found at http://code.google.com/p/kmlcircle/ Take a peek. --nickg Hi folks, I came up with my own circle generator, which also does regular polygons and star-like things.

So you'd want to contact that creator of that page to find out the algorithm he/she uses. I didn't find any contact information on that page though. The next best bet would be for you to post your question on <a href="http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/23634/page/vc/fpart/all/vc/1" rel="nofollow">this thread where the author of that page announces his circle generator</a>.

I found two indpendent methods that I programmed, uploaded the circles into Google Earth and compared with those from Blended Tech. There are not so insignificant differences. The Ruler tool shows that the circle from Blended Tech is the most accurate. Can someone share the equations used here so that I may incorporate them in my software?

This file shows that the circle has been created as a string of tiny straight lines drawn on the surface of the earth. The line coordinates are in terms of (latitude,longitude,altitude=0). Can someone tell me the equation used for defining a circle on the surface of earth given its centre and radius? This can then be used for writing your own code to create multi-circles or arcs, as required by some people on this page. I saved the circle in ascii format (.kml).
