My map projection is: "EPSG:900913" ,Display projection is "EPSG:4326" and units is "m", however does not equal the length is calculated in OpenLayers with ArcGIS, in fact Openlayers show the length more than the actual length when i use measure control.

For example:

the calculation length in ArcGIS is:26,072.443575

enter image description here

and in OpenLayers is: 3.0757.

  • If you're just clicking on the screen, graphical representation issues around pixel size and "twips" could more than explain the difference.

As you are using DynamicMeasure( github.com/jorix/OL-DynamicMeasure ) you can also use geodesic:true to get better results:

var measureControls = {
        line: new OpenLayers.Control.DynamicMeasure(OpenLayers.Handler.Path)

    };

measureControls.line.geodesic=true;

measureControls.line.activate();

I just forked the repository and added an option to switch geodesic:true on interactively:
