Okay, I checked the docs, you appear to be right. But, still I believe there is a unit problem. What units is the measure tool in? Additionally, when you convert your planar units to geographics, are you taking latitude into account?

| Feb 12, 2012 at 22:26 | comment | added | George Silva | All my geometries are in WGS-84. The buffer method input is in degrees? Unless I'm missing something... | |
| Feb 12, 2012 at 22:24 | comment | added | Stephen Quan | Why are you using degrees for your buffers? It is not a planar unit. | |
