calculate distance between two latitude longitude points formula code example
Example 1: distance between two coordinates latitude longitude formula
function getDistanceFromLatLonInKm(lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2) {
var R = 6371;
var dLat = deg2rad(lat2-lat1);
var dLon = deg2rad(lon2-lon1);
var a =
Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
Math.cos(deg2rad(lat1)) * Math.cos(deg2rad(lat2)) *
Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2)
;
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
var d = R * c;
return d;
}
function deg2rad(deg) {
return deg * (Math.PI/180)
}
Example 2: calculator distance between two coordinates latitude longitude
function distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, unit) {
var radlat1 = Math.PI * lat1/180
var radlat2 = Math.PI * lat2/180
var theta = lon1-lon2
var radtheta = Math.PI * theta/180
var dist = Math.sin(radlat1) * Math.sin(radlat2) + Math.cos(radlat1) * Math.cos(radlat2) * Math.cos(radtheta);
dist = Math.acos(dist)
dist = dist * 180/Math.PI
dist = dist * 60 * 1.1515
if (unit=="K") { dist = dist * 1.609344 }
if (unit=="N") { dist = dist * 0.8684 }
return dist
}
