Dec 18, 2015 at 11:03 comment added user17915 wouldn't the angular difference have a direct relationship with the distance? Would it be possible to have same distance for various angular differences or vice versa?

Dec 17, 2015 at 18:16 comment added James Jenkins Distance gives perspective. See my comment here you are correct that angular difference is the most significant, and it does not get any worse than 180 degrees of out of 360.
Dec 17, 2015 at 17:16 comment added user2169 The distance in kilometers is not what's really relevant for navigation. For navigation, we normally care about the angular difference. That can be as much as 180 degrees in northern Canada.
