使用PHP，你可以使用这个简单的函数来计算距离:

// to calculate distance between two lat & lon

function calculate_distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2, $unit='N') 
{ 
  $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;
      }
}

// function ends here

只需将以下内容添加到JavaScript代码的开头:

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);
}

然后像这样使用函数:

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

下面是this公式的c#实现

 public class DistanceAlgorithm
{
    const double PIx = 3.141592653589793;
    const double RADIO = 6378.16;

    /// <summary>
    /// This class cannot be instantiated.
    /// </summary>
    private DistanceAlgorithm() { }

    /// <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 * RADIO) * 0.62137;//distance in miles
    }

}    

首先，你指的是整个路径的长度，还是你只想知道位移(直线距离)?我看没人指出距离和位移的区别。对于距离计算JSON/XML数据给出的每个路由点，至于位移，有一个内置的解决方案使用球面类

//calculates distance between two points in km's
function calcDistance(p1, p2) {
  return (google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(p1, p2) / 1000).toFixed(2);
}

在PHP中，使用谷歌映射距离矩阵API:

//Get the Driving(Mode) distance between two Geo-location points(Latitude, Longitude) pair.
function get_distance($lat1, $lat2, $long1, $long2)
{
    $url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=".$lat1.",".$long1."&destinations=".$lat2.",".$long2."&mode=driving"."&units=imperial";
    //You can request distance data for different travel modes, request distance data in different units such as kilometers or miles, and estimate travel time in traffic.
    try{
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, 3128);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        $response_a = json_decode($response, true);
        //Invalid request OR Empty response
        if(isset($response_a['error_message']) || empty($response_a['rows'])) 
            throw new Exception($response_a['error_message']);
        
    } catch(Exception $e){
        //Handle error here.
        return [];
    }
    
    //The unit parameter in the request URL only affects the text displayed within distance fields. The distance fields in response also contain values that are always expressed in meters.
    $dist = $response_a['rows'][0]['elements'][0]['distance']['text'];
    $time = $response_a['rows'][0]['elements'][0]['duration']['text'];

    return ['distance' => $dist, 'time' => $time];
}

   */
  function haversineDistance(latlngA, latlngB, isMiles) {
    const squared = x => x * x;
    const toRad = x => (x * Math.PI) / 180;
    const R = 6371; // Earth’s mean radius in km

    const dLat = toRad(latlngB[0] - latlngA[0]);
    const dLon = toRad(latlngB[1] - latlngA[1]);

    const dLatSin = squared(Math.sin(dLat / 2));
    const dLonSin = squared(Math.sin(dLon / 2));

    const a = dLatSin +
              (Math.cos(toRad(latlngA[0])) * Math.cos(toRad(latlngB[0])) * dLonSin);
    const c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));
    let distance = R * c;

    if (isMiles) distance /= 1.609344;

    return distance;
  }

我在网上找到了一个版本，80%是正确的，但插入了错误的参数，在使用输入时不一致，这个版本完全解决了这个问题
