Online Distance/Lag Calculator
There have been numerous discussions talking about lag time in these forums, but never something that allows you to actually figure it out. So I started the process of throwing together a simple java...

What's interesting is that the the latency calculation is the same for both my actual location and my browser calculated location, which is about 50 miles from here. It's 50 miles away, but pretty much the same distance from the satellite as my actual location, so it makes sense.
I expected it to be more off, as my browser generated location isn't usually this close.
50 out of 95,000 or so isn't going to be a big change... 0.05%

Thought it's 50 miles away from me, it's just slightly south of due east, so it's actually pretty much on the same distance arc from the satellite. I'd be surprised if the actual difference in distance to the satellite was more than five miles.
Changed both distances to output both km and miles.
