计算距离——尤其是大距离——的主要挑战之一是解释地球的曲率。如果地球是平的，计算两点之间的距离就会像计算直线一样简单!哈弗辛公式包括一个常数(下面是R变量)，它表示地球的半径。根据你是用英里还是公里来测量，它分别等于3956英里或6367公里。 基本公式是:

Dlon = lon2 - lon1 dat = lat2 - lat1 = (sin (dlat / 2)) ^ 2 + cos (lat1) * cos (lat2) * (sin (dlon / 2)) ^ 2 C = 2 * atan2(√(a)，√(1-a)) distance = R * c(其中R为地球半径) R = 6367公里OR 3956英里

     lat1, lon1: The Latitude and Longitude of point 1 (in decimal degrees)
     lat2, lon2: The Latitude and Longitude of point 2 (in decimal degrees)
     unit: The unit of measurement in which to calculate the results where:
     'M' is statute miles (default)
     'K' is kilometers
     'N' is nautical miles

样本

function distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, unit) {
    try {
        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
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
}

下面是一个c#实现:

static class DistanceAlgorithm
{
    const double PIx = 3.141592653589793;
    const double RADIUS = 6378.16;

    /// <summary>
    /// Convert degrees to Radians
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="x">Degrees</param>
    /// <returns>The equivalent in radians</returns>
    public static double Radians(double x)
    {
        return x * PIx / 180;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Calculate the distance between two places.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="lon1"></param>
    /// <param name="lat1"></param>
    /// <param name="lon2"></param>
    /// <param name="lat2"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static double DistanceBetweenPlaces(
        double lon1,
        double lat1,
        double lon2,
        double lat2)
    {
        double dlon = Radians(lon2 - lon1);
        double dlat = Radians(lat2 - lat1);

        double a = (Math.Sin(dlat / 2) * Math.Sin(dlat / 2)) + Math.Cos(Radians(lat1)) * Math.Cos(Radians(lat2)) * (Math.Sin(dlon / 2) * Math.Sin(dlon / 2));
        double angle = 2 * Math.Atan2(Math.Sqrt(a), Math.Sqrt(1 - a));
        return angle * RADIUS;
    }

}

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;
}

这里有一个用PHP http://www.geodatasource.com/developers/php计算距离的好例子:

 function distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2, $unit) {

     $theta = $lon1 - $lon2;
     $dist = sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2)) +  cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta));
     $dist = acos($dist);
     $dist = rad2deg($dist);
     $miles = $dist * 60 * 1.1515;
     $unit = strtoupper($unit);

     if ($unit == "K") {
         return ($miles * 1.609344);
     } else if ($unit == "N") {
          return ($miles * 0.8684);
     } else {
          return $miles;
     }
 }

下面是Haversine公式的java实现。

public final static double AVERAGE_RADIUS_OF_EARTH_KM = 6371;
public int calculateDistanceInKilometer(double userLat, double userLng,
  double venueLat, double venueLng) {

    double latDistance = Math.toRadians(userLat - venueLat);
    double lngDistance = Math.toRadians(userLng - venueLng);

    double a = Math.sin(latDistance / 2) * Math.sin(latDistance / 2)
      + Math.cos(Math.toRadians(userLat)) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(venueLat))
      * Math.sin(lngDistance / 2) * Math.sin(lngDistance / 2);

    double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));

    return (int) (Math.round(AVERAGE_RADIUS_OF_EARTH_KM * c));
}

请注意，这里我们将答案四舍五入到最近的km。

这个脚本[在PHP中]计算两点之间的距离。

public static function getDistanceOfTwoPoints($source, $dest, $unit='K') {
        $lat1 = $source[0];
        $lon1 = $source[1];
        $lat2 = $dest[0];
        $lon2 = $dest[1];

        $theta = $lon1 - $lon2;
        $dist = sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2)) +  cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta));
        $dist = acos($dist);
        $dist = rad2deg($dist);
        $miles = $dist * 60 * 1.1515;
        $unit = strtoupper($unit);

        if ($unit == "K") {
            return ($miles * 1.609344);
        }
        else if ($unit == "M")
        {
            return ($miles * 1.609344 * 1000);
        }
        else if ($unit == "N") {
            return ($miles * 0.8684);
        } 
        else {
            return $miles;
        }
    }
