下面是SQL实现，以km为单位计算距离，

SELECT UserId, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians( your latitude here ) ) * cos( radians(latitude) ) * 
cos( radians(longitude) - radians( your longitude here ) ) + sin( radians( your latitude here ) ) * 
sin( radians(latitude) ) ) ) AS distance FROM user HAVING
distance < 5  ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 5;

要获得通过编程语言实现的更多细节，您可以浏览这里给出的php脚本

在我的项目中，我需要计算很多点之间的距离，所以我继续尝试优化我在这里找到的代码。平均而言，在不同的浏览器中，我的新实现的运行速度比获得最多好评的答案快2倍。

function distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2) {
  var p = 0.017453292519943295;    // Math.PI / 180
  var c = Math.cos;
  var a = 0.5 - c((lat2 - lat1) * p)/2 + 
          c(lat1 * p) * c(lat2 * p) * 
          (1 - c((lon2 - lon1) * p))/2;

  return 12742 * Math.asin(Math.sqrt(a)); // 2 * R; R = 6371 km
}

您可以在这里使用我的jsPerf并查看结果。

最近我需要在python中做同样的事情，所以这里是一个python实现:

from math import cos, asin, sqrt, pi

def distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2):
    p = pi/180
    a = 0.5 - cos((lat2-lat1)*p)/2 + cos(lat1*p) * cos(lat2*p) * (1-cos((lon2-lon1)*p))/2
    return 12742 * asin(sqrt(a)) #2*R*asin...

如果你想要驾驶距离/路线(张贴在这里，因为这是谷歌上两点之间距离的第一个结果，但对大多数人来说，驾驶距离更有用)，你可以使用谷歌地图距离矩阵服务:

getDrivingDistanceBetweenTwoLatLong(origin, destination) {

 return new Observable(subscriber => {
  let service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();
  service.getDistanceMatrix(
    {
      origins: [new google.maps.LatLng(origin.lat, origin.long)],
      destinations: [new google.maps.LatLng(destination.lat, destination.long)],
      travelMode: 'DRIVING'
    }, (response, status) => {
      if (status !== google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK) {
        console.log('Error:', status);
        subscriber.error({error: status, status: status});
      } else {
        console.log(response);
        try {
          let valueInMeters = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance.value;
          let valueInKms = valueInMeters / 1000;
          subscriber.next(valueInKms);
          subscriber.complete();
        }
       catch(error) {
        subscriber.error({error: error, status: status});
       }
      }
    });
});
}

我在这里发布了我的工作示例。

在MySQL中列出表中指定点(我们使用一个随机点- lat:45.20327, long:23.7806)之间距离小于50 KM的所有点(表中字段为coord_lat和coord_long):

列出所有距离<50，单位:公里(地球半径6371公里):

SELECT denumire, (6371 * acos( cos( radians(45.20327) ) * cos( radians( coord_lat ) ) * cos( radians( 23.7806 ) - radians(coord_long) ) + sin( radians(45.20327) ) * sin( radians(coord_lat) ) )) AS distanta 
FROM obiective 
WHERE coord_lat<>'' 
    AND coord_long<>'' 
HAVING distanta<50 
ORDER BY distanta desc

上面的例子是在MySQL 5.0.95和5.5.16 (Linux)中测试的。

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

这是一个简单的javascript函数，从这个链接可能是有用的。不知何故相关，但我们使用谷歌地球javascript插件而不是地图

function getApproximateDistanceUnits(point1, point2) {

    var xs = 0;
    var ys = 0;

    xs = point2.getX() - point1.getX();
    xs = xs * xs;

    ys = point2.getY() - point1.getY();
    ys = ys * ys;

    return Math.sqrt(xs + ys);
}

单位不是距离，而是相对于坐标的比率。还有其他相关的计算，你可以在这里代替getApproximateDistanceUnits函数链接

然后我使用这个函数来查看经纬度是否在半径内

function isMapPlacemarkInRadius(point1, point2, radi) {
    if (point1 && point2) {
        return getApproximateDistanceUnits(point1, point2) <= radi;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

点可以定义为

 $$.getPoint = function(lati, longi) {
        var location = {
            x: 0,
            y: 0,
            getX: function() { return location.x; },
            getY: function() { return location.y; }
        };
        location.x = lati;
        location.y = longi;

        return location;
    };

然后你可以做你的事情，看看一个点是否在一个半径范围内，比如:

 //put it on the map if within the range of a specified radi assuming 100,000,000 units
        var iconpoint = Map.getPoint(pp.latitude, pp.longitude);
        var centerpoint = Map.getPoint(Settings.CenterLatitude, Settings.CenterLongitude);

        //approx ~200 units to show only half of the globe from the default center radius
        if (isMapPlacemarkInRadius(centerpoint, iconpoint, 120)) {
            addPlacemark(pp.latitude, pp.longitude, pp.name);
        }
        else {
            otherSidePlacemarks.push({
                latitude: pp.latitude,
                longitude: pp.longitude,
                name: pp.name
            });

        }
