Distance between point and path

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution to calculate, on a web page, the shortest path between a path and a point, would you have a solution to this problem?

Have a nice day.

Re: Distance between point and path

Through the path or in a straight line?
If just want to measure a distance in a straight line, you can open iD editor and press Ctrl+Shift+I to open measurement panel.
If you want to measure the distance through the path on the OSM website click the arrows in the upper left corner.

Maybe this site can help. Diverse formulars for calculations with lat/lon values:
