正如指出的那样，精确的计算应该考虑到地球不是一个完美的球体。以下是这里提供的各种算法的一些比较:

geoDistance(50,5,58,3)
Haversine: 899 km
Maymenn: 833 km
Keerthana: 897 km
google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(): 900 km

geoDistance(50,5,-58,-3)
Haversine: 12030 km
Maymenn: 11135 km
Keerthana: 10310 km
google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(): 12044 km

geoDistance(.05,.005,.058,.003)
Haversine: 0.9169 km
Maymenn: 0.851723 km
Keerthana: 0.917964 km
google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(): 0.917964 km

geoDistance(.05,80,.058,80.3)
Haversine: 33.37 km
Maymenn: 33.34 km
Keerthana: 33.40767 km
google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(): 33.40770 km

在小范围内，Keerthana的算法似乎与谷歌Maps的算法一致。谷歌Maps似乎没有遵循任何简单的算法，这表明它可能是这里最准确的方法。

不管怎样，这里是Keerthana算法的Javascript实现:

function geoDistance(lat1, lng1, lat2, lng2){
    const a = 6378.137; // equitorial radius in km
    const b = 6356.752; // polar radius in km

    var sq = x => (x*x);
    var sqr = x => Math.sqrt(x);
    var cos = x => Math.cos(x);
    var sin = x => Math.sin(x);
    var radius = lat => sqr((sq(a*a*cos(lat))+sq(b*b*sin(lat)))/(sq(a*cos(lat))+sq(b*sin(lat))));

    lat1 = lat1 * Math.PI / 180;
    lng1 = lng1 * Math.PI / 180;
    lat2 = lat2 * Math.PI / 180;
    lng2 = lng2 * Math.PI / 180;

    var R1 = radius(lat1);
    var x1 = R1*cos(lat1)*cos(lng1);
    var y1 = R1*cos(lat1)*sin(lng1);
    var z1 = R1*sin(lat1);

    var R2 = radius(lat2);
    var x2 = R2*cos(lat2)*cos(lng2);
    var y2 = R2*cos(lat2)*sin(lng2);
    var z2 = R2*sin(lat2);

    return sqr(sq(x1-x2)+sq(y1-y2)+sq(z1-z2));
}

下面是移植到Java的已接受的答案实现，以备任何人需要。

package com.project529.garage.util;


/**
 * Mean radius.
 */
private static double EARTH_RADIUS = 6371;

/**
 * Returns the distance between two sets of latitudes and longitudes in meters.
 * <p/>
 * Based from the following JavaScript SO answer:
 * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27928/calculate-distance-between-two-latitude-longitude-points-haversine-formula,
 * which is based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula (error rate: ~0.55%).
 */
public double getDistanceBetween(double lat1, double lon1, double lat2, double lon2) {
    double dLat = toRadians(lat2 - lat1);
    double dLon = toRadians(lon2 - lon1);

    double a = Math.sin(dLat / 2) * Math.sin(dLat / 2) +
            Math.cos(toRadians(lat1)) * Math.cos(toRadians(lat2)) *
                    Math.sin(dLon / 2) * Math.sin(dLon / 2);
    double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));
    double d = EARTH_RADIUS * c;

    return d;
}

public double toRadians(double degrees) {
    return degrees * (Math.PI / 180);
}

下面是VB的实现。NET，这个实现将根据您传递的Enum值以KM或Miles为单位给您结果。

Public Enum DistanceType
    Miles
    KiloMeters
End Enum

Public Structure Position
    Public Latitude As Double
    Public Longitude As Double
End Structure

Public Class Haversine

    Public Function Distance(Pos1 As Position,
                             Pos2 As Position,
                             DistType As DistanceType) As Double

        Dim R As Double = If((DistType = DistanceType.Miles), 3960, 6371)

        Dim dLat As Double = Me.toRadian(Pos2.Latitude - Pos1.Latitude)

        Dim dLon As Double = Me.toRadian(Pos2.Longitude - Pos1.Longitude)

        Dim a As Double = Math.Sin(dLat / 2) * Math.Sin(dLat / 2) + Math.Cos(Me.toRadian(Pos1.Latitude)) * Math.Cos(Me.toRadian(Pos2.Latitude)) * Math.Sin(dLon / 2) * Math.Sin(dLon / 2)

        Dim c As Double = 2 * Math.Asin(Math.Min(1, Math.Sqrt(a)))

        Dim result As Double = R * c

        Return result

    End Function

    Private Function toRadian(val As Double) As Double

        Return (Math.PI / 180) * val

    End Function

End Class

这是我的java实现计算距离经过一些搜索。我用的是世界平均半径(来自维基百科)，单位是千米。İf你想要的结果英里，然后使用世界半径英里。

public static double distanceLatLong2(double lat1, double lng1, double lat2, double lng2) 
{
  double earthRadius = 6371.0d; // KM: use mile here if you want mile result

  double dLat = toRadian(lat2 - lat1);
  double dLng = toRadian(lng2 - lng1);

  double a = Math.pow(Math.sin(dLat/2), 2)  + 
          Math.cos(toRadian(lat1)) * Math.cos(toRadian(lat2)) * 
          Math.pow(Math.sin(dLng/2), 2);

  double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));

  return earthRadius * c; // returns result kilometers
}

public static double toRadian(double degrees) 
{
  return (degrees * Math.PI) / 180.0d;
}

在提供的代码中有一些错误，我在下面修复了它。

以上所有答案都假定地球是一个球体。然而，更精确的近似是扁球体。

a= 6378.137#equitorial radius in km
b= 6356.752#polar radius in km

def Distance(lat1, lons1, lat2, lons2):
    lat1=math.radians(lat1)
    lons1=math.radians(lons1)
    R1=(((((a**2)*math.cos(lat1))**2)+(((b**2)*math.sin(lat1))**2))/((a*math.cos(lat1))**2+(b*math.sin(lat1))**2))**0.5 #radius of earth at lat1
    x1=R1*math.cos(lat1)*math.cos(lons1)
    y1=R1*math.cos(lat1)*math.sin(lons1)
    z1=R1*math.sin(lat1)

    lat2=math.radians(lat2)
    lons2=math.radians(lons2)
    R2=(((((a**2)*math.cos(lat2))**2)+(((b**2)*math.sin(lat2))**2))/((a*math.cos(lat2))**2+(b*math.sin(lat2))**2))**0.5 #radius of earth at lat2
    x2=R2*math.cos(lat2)*math.cos(lons2)
    y2=R2*math.cos(lat2)*math.sin(lons2)
    z2=R2*math.sin(lat2)
    
    return ((x1-x2)**2+(y1-y2)**2+(z1-z2)**2)**0.5

在Mysql中使用以下函数传递参数，使用POINT(LONG,LAT)

CREATE FUNCTION `distance`(a POINT, b POINT)
 RETURNS double
    DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN

RETURN

GLength( LineString(( PointFromWKB(a)), (PointFromWKB(b)))) * 100000; -- To Make the distance in meters

END;
