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);
}

在我的情况下，这是最好的计算在SQL Server，因为我想采取当前位置，然后搜索所有邮政编码从当前位置一定距离内。我还有一个数据库，其中包含邮政编码及其纬度的列表。干杯

--will return the radius for a given number
create function getRad(@variable float)--function to return rad
returns float
as
begin
declare @retval float 
select @retval=(@variable * PI()/180)
--print @retval
return @retval
end
go

--calc distance
--drop function dbo.getDistance
create function getDistance(@cLat float,@cLong float, @tLat float, @tLong float)
returns float
as
begin
declare @emr float
declare @dLat float
declare @dLong float
declare @a float
declare @distance float
declare @c float

set @emr = 6371--earth mean 
set @dLat = dbo.getRad(@tLat - @cLat);
set @dLong = dbo.getRad(@tLong - @cLong);
set @a = sin(@dLat/2)*sin(@dLat/2)+cos(dbo.getRad(@cLat))*cos(dbo.getRad(@tLat))*sin(@dLong/2)*sin(@dLong/2);
set @c = 2*atn2(sqrt(@a),sqrt(1-@a))
set @distance = @emr*@c;
set @distance = @distance * 0.621371 -- i needed it in miles
--print @distance
return @distance;
end 
go


--get all zipcodes within 2 miles, the hardcoded #'s would be passed in by C#
select *
from cityzips a where dbo.getDistance(29.76,-95.38,a.lat,a.long) <3
order by zipcode

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

//p1 and p2 are google.maps.LatLng(x,y) objects

function calcDistance(p1, p2) {
          var d = (google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(p1, p2) / 1000).toFixed(2);
          console.log(d);              
}

对于谷歌，你可以使用球面api, google.maps.geometry. sphere.computedistancebetween (latLngA, latLngB);

然而，如果球面投影或哈弗辛解的精度对你来说不够精确(例如，如果你靠近极点或计算更长的距离)，你应该使用不同的库。

关于这个主题的大部分信息我都是在维基百科上找到的。

要查看任何给定算法的精度是否足够，一个技巧是填充地球的最大和最小半径，并查看差异是否会给您的用例带来问题。更多细节可以在本文中找到

最后，谷歌api或haversine将毫无问题地满足大多数目的。

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];
}
