你可以用Haversine公式计算它，它是:

a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ1 ⋅ cos φ2 ⋅ sin²(Δλ/2)
c = 2 ⋅ atan2( √a, √(1−a) )
d = R ⋅ c

下面给出了一个计算两点之间距离的例子

假设我要计算从新德里到伦敦的距离，那么我该如何使用这个公式:

New delhi co-ordinates= 28.7041° N, 77.1025° E
London co-ordinates= 51.5074° N, 0.1278° W

var R = 6371e3; // metres
var φ1 = 28.7041.toRadians();
var φ2 = 51.5074.toRadians();
var Δφ = (51.5074-28.7041).toRadians();
var Δλ = (0.1278-77.1025).toRadians();

var a = Math.sin(Δφ/2) * Math.sin(Δφ/2) +
        Math.cos(φ1) * Math.cos(φ2) *
        Math.sin(Δλ/2) * Math.sin(Δλ/2);
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));

var d = R * c; // metres
d = d/1000; // km

下面是Haversine公式的typescript实现

static getDistanceFromLatLonInKm(lat1: number, lon1: number, lat2: number, lon2: number): number {
    var deg2Rad = deg => {
        return deg * Math.PI / 180;
    }

    var r = 6371; // Radius of the earth in km
    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; // Distance in km
    return d;
}

数学有问题，LUA的学位…如果有人知道修复，请清理这段代码!

与此同时，这里有一个Haversine在LUA中的实现(与Redis一起使用!)

function calcDist(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2)
    lat1= lat1*0.0174532925
    lat2= lat2*0.0174532925
    lon1= lon1*0.0174532925
    lon2= lon2*0.0174532925

    dlon = lon2-lon1
    dlat = lat2-lat1

    a = math.pow(math.sin(dlat/2),2) + math.cos(lat1) * math.cos(lat2) * math.pow(math.sin(dlon/2),2)
    c = 2 * math.asin(math.sqrt(a))
    dist = 6371 * c      -- multiply by 0.621371 to convert to miles
    return dist
end

干杯!

下面是另一个转换为Ruby代码的代码:

include Math
#Note: from/to = [lat, long]

def get_distance_in_km(from, to)
  radians = lambda { |deg| deg * Math.PI / 180 }
  radius = 6371 # Radius of the earth in kilometer
  dLat = radians[to[0]-from[0]]
  dLon = radians[to[1]-from[1]]

  cosines_product = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) + Math.cos(radians[from[0]]) * Math.cos(radians[to[1]]) * Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2)

  c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(cosines_product), Math.sqrt(1-cosines_product)) 
  return radius * c # Distance in kilometer
end

非常感谢这一切。我在Objective-C iPhone应用程序中使用了以下代码:

const double PIx = 3.141592653589793;
const double RADIO = 6371; // Mean radius of Earth in Km

double convertToRadians(double val) {

   return val * PIx / 180;
}

-(double)kilometresBetweenPlace1:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place1 andPlace2:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place2 {

        double dlon = convertToRadians(place2.longitude - place1.longitude);
        double dlat = convertToRadians(place2.latitude - place1.latitude);

        double a = ( pow(sin(dlat / 2), 2) + cos(convertToRadians(place1.latitude))) * cos(convertToRadians(place2.latitude)) * pow(sin(dlon / 2), 2);
        double angle = 2 * asin(sqrt(a));

        return angle * RADIO;
}

纬度和经度是十进制的。我没有在asin()调用中使用min()，因为我使用的距离非常小，以至于它们不需要min()。

它给出了错误的答案，直到我传入弧度的值-现在它几乎与从苹果地图应用程序中获得的值相同:-)

额外的更新:

如果你使用的是iOS4或更高版本，那么苹果会提供一些方法来实现相同的功能:

-(double)kilometresBetweenPlace1:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place1 andPlace2:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) place2 {

    MKMapPoint  start, finish;


    start = MKMapPointForCoordinate(place1);
    finish = MKMapPointForCoordinate(place2);

    return MKMetersBetweenMapPoints(start, finish) / 1000;
}

我通过简化公式来简化计算。

下面是Ruby版本:

include Math
earth_radius_mi = 3959
radians = lambda { |deg| deg * PI / 180 }
coord_radians = lambda { |c| { :lat => radians[c[:lat]], :lng => radians[c[:lng]] } }

# from/to = { :lat => (latitude_in_degrees), :lng => (longitude_in_degrees) }
def haversine_distance(from, to)
  from, to = coord_radians[from], coord_radians[to]
  cosines_product = cos(to[:lat]) * cos(from[:lat]) * cos(from[:lng] - to[:lng])
  sines_product = sin(to[:lat]) * sin(from[:lat])
  return earth_radius_mi * acos(cosines_product + sines_product)
end
