I want to get the Distance between two latitude and longitude in meter / km . So i am using the below function . It gives me the different result than the google Map.
Can you help me to solve my problem ? i dont understand What is the Problem ? Code private double distance(double lat1, double lon1, double lat2, double lon2) { double theta = lon1 - lon2; double dist = Math.sin(deg2rad(lat1)) * Math.sin(deg2rad(lat2)) + Math.cos(deg2rad(lat1)) * Math.cos(deg2rad(lat2)) * Math.cos(deg2rad(theta)); dist = Math.acos(dist); dist = rad2deg(dist); dist = dist * 60 * 1.1515; return (dist); } private double deg2rad(double deg) { return (deg * Math.PI / 180.0); } private double rad2deg(double rad) { return (rad * 180.0 / Math.PI); } Current Latitude = 23.012281666666663 Current Longitude = 72.51798333333333 Destination Latitude = 23.1120487 Destination Latitude = 72.5766759 It gives this Result = 12579.679 in Meter, while in google map it gives this result = 17.9 Km I do not understand why this two gives the different result. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
