Calculate distance between two points in google maps V3

Question

How do you calculate the distance between two markers in Google maps V3   Similar to the distanceFrom function inV2    Thanks

User · Answer

Just add this to the beginning of your JavaScript code:

google.maps.LatLng.prototype.distanceFrom = function(latlng) {
  var lat = [this.lat(), latlng.lat()]
  var lng = [this.lng(), latlng.lng()]
  var R = 6378137;
  var dLat = (lat[1]-lat[0]) * Math.PI / 180;
  var dLng = (lng[1]-lng[0]) * Math.PI / 180;
  var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
  Math.cos(lat[0] * Math.PI / 180 ) * Math.cos(lat[1] * Math.PI / 180 ) *
  Math.sin(dLng/2) * Math.sin(dLng/2);
  var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
  var d = R * c;
  return Math.round(d);
}

and then use the function like this:

var loc1 = new GLatLng(52.5773139, 1.3712427);
var loc2 = new GLatLng(52.4788314, 1.7577444);
var dist = loc2.distanceFrom(loc1);
alert(dist/1000);

First  are you referring to distance as in length of the entire path or you want to know only the displacement  straight line distance   I see no one is pointing the difference between distance and displacement here  For distance calculate each route point given by JSON XML data  as for displacement there is a built-in solution using Spherical class   calculates distance between two points in km s function calcDistance p1  p2      return  google maps geometry spherical computeDistanceBetween p1  p2    1000  toFixed 2

It s Quite easy using Google Distance Matrix service  First step is to activate Distance Matrix service from google API console  it returns distances between a set of locations  And apply this simple function  function initMap             var bounds   new google maps LatLngBounds          var markersArray                var origin1    lat 23 0203  lng  72 5562             var origin2    Ahmedabad  India           var destinationA    lat 23 0436503  lng  72 55008939999993             var destinationB    lat  23 2156  lng  72 6369            var destinationIcon    https   chart googleapis com chart                  chst d map pin letter amp chld D FF0000 000000           var originIcon    https   chart googleapis com chart                  chst d map pin letter amp chld O FFFF00 000000           var map   new google maps Map document getElementById  map                center   lat  55 53  lng  9 4             zoom  10                     var geocoder   new google maps Geocoder           var service   new google maps DistanceMatrixService          service getDistanceMatrix             origins   origin1             destinations   destinationA             travelMode   DRIVING             unitSystem  google maps UnitSystem METRIC            avoidHighways  false            avoidTolls  false            function response  status              if  status      OK                 alert  Error was      status               else               var originList   response originAddresses              var destinationList   response destinationAddresses              var outputDiv   document getElementById  output                outputDiv innerHTML                   deleteMarkers markersArray                var showGeocodedAddressOnMap   function asDestination                  var icon   asDestination   destinationIcon   originIcon                return function results  status                    if  status      OK                       map fitBounds bounds extend results 0  geometry location                      markersArray push new google maps Marker                       map  map                      position  results 0  geometry location                      icon  icon                                          else                     alert  Geocode was not successful due to      status                                                                  for  var i   0  i  lt  originList length  i                    var results   response rows i  elements                geocoder geocode   address   originList i                      showGeocodedAddressOnMap false                  for  var j   0  j  lt  results length  j                      geocoder geocode   address   destinationList j                        showGeocodedAddressOnMap true                      outputDiv innerHTML    originList i      to     destinationList j           results j  distance text     in                        results j  duration text     lt br gt                    outputDiv innerHTML    results j  distance text     lt br gt                                                                     Where origin1  is your location and destinationA is destindation location you can add above two or more data   Rad Full Documentation with an example

With google you can do it using the spherical api  google maps geometry spherical computeDistanceBetween  latLngA  latLngB      However  if the precision of a spherical projection or a haversine solution is not precise enough for you  e g  if you re close to the pole or computing longer distances   you should use a different library   Most information on the subject I found on Wikipedia here   A trick to see if the precision of any given algorithm is adequate is to fill in the maximum and minimum radius of the earth and see if the difference might cause problems for your use case  Many more details can be found in this article  In the end the google api or haversine will serve most purposes without problems

There actually seems to be a method in GMap3  It s a static method of the google maps geometry spherical namespace    It takes as arguments two LatLng objects and will utilize a default Earth radius of 6378137 meters  although the default radius can be overridden with a custom value if necessary   Make sure you include    lt script type  text javascript  src  http   maps google com maps api js sensor false amp v 3 amp libraries geometry  gt  lt  script gt    in your head section   The call will be   google maps geometry spherical computeDistanceBetween  latLngA  latLngB
