I’m currently using the function below and it doesn’t work properly. According to Google Maps, the distance between these coordinates (from 59.3293371,13.4877472
to 59.3225525,13.4619422
) are 2.2
kilometres while the function returns 1.6
kilometres. How can I make this function return the correct distance?
function getDistanceFromLatLonInKm(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2) {
var R = 6371; // Radius of the earth in km
var dLat = deg2rad(lat2-lat1); // deg2rad below
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;
}
function deg2rad(deg) {
return deg * (Math.PI/180)
}
