I need a programmer working on a project in which I need to calculate the area of a polygon, based on Lat/Lng points that make up the polygon.
I believe what I want returned is square miles, but correct me if I'm wrong.
This is probably a function that already exists out there but I could not find it easily. Easy $25 and +10 Rating for the coder if interested.
Some sample coordinate values are listed below.
