[Qgis-user] about distance calculation

[Raymond Nijssen]

Hi Mahmut,

Reading your question I wonder if you really want to know the distance 
to the railroad (line) or to the stations (points). Since you usually 
cannot enter or leave the train at any location along the railroad.

Anyway, qgis can calculate both with processing algorithms:

1.
distance to nearest hub
For point to point comparison, when you use station locations.

2.
v.distance (grass algorithm)
For geometry to geometry comparison, calculates the shortest line (and 
distance) to the nearest railroad.

Hope this helps,
Raymond
