What do we need Haversine's Formula?
Just to calculate the distance between longitude & latitude coordinates of two given places.
Just to calculate the distance between longitude & latitude coordinates of two given places.
$('some_element').click(function(){
var loc1 = [lat, lon] // It Specify Longitude and latitude
var loc2 = [lat, lon] // It Specify Longitude and latitude
var lat1 = loc1[0], lon1 = loc1[1];
var lat2 = loc2[0], lon2 = loc2[1];
var earth = 6371 // Earth's Radius in Kilometre
var dLat = (lat2-lat1) * Math.PI / 180;
var dLon = (lon2-lon1) * Math.PI / 180;
var nlat1 = (lat1) * Math.PI / 180;
var nlat2 = (lat2) * Math.PI / 180;
// Calculation
var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) + Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.cos(nlat1) * Math.cos(nlat2);
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
var d = earth * c;
var distance = Math.round(d*Math.pow(10,2)) / Math.pow(10,2); //Round off to 2 decimal places
alert(distance);
});
