GREAT CIRCLE LINE Add-In

This toolbox generates a great circle line annotation between two points on a map. This macro illustrates how to:

1. Get a two-point line from the user
2. Create an array of values
3. Use coordinate geometry to create a new coordinate based on a distance and direction from an existing coordinate
4. Create an annotation

You can modify the toolbox to let the user set the number of points, etc.
