I need to find the nearest distance of points from points in ArcMap. Both layers are in WGS 1984.

When I choose geodesic distance in Near tool, I get results in meters.

I don't do any projection.

Is this wrong?

    That is correct behavior.

  • Thanks @Vince. So when and why people do projection before finding the distance in meters?

    You probably want to review what geodesic distance means.
