Thanks very much for the answer, Frank.

However, the points on the line string features themselves return NULL

Selon Christopher Barker :
I'd note that in the OGR XPlane driver, a function is available to compute the
distance on the spheroid. You could use it if you don't need much accuracy :

Hi all;
I wanted to compute the distance between two points,
and for this reason I tried the "OGRGeometry::Distance" member function.
However, I saw that this function only returns the linear
distance between the objects, regardless of their geospatial reference.
(as it is also stated somewhere o
