我已经创建了这个小Javascript LatLng对象，可能对某人有用。

var latLng1 = new LatLng(5, 3);
var latLng2 = new LatLng(6, 7);
var distance = latLng1.distanceTo(latLng2); 

代码:

/**
 * latLng point
 * @param {Number} lat
 * @param {Number} lng
 * @returns {LatLng}
 * @constructor
 */
function LatLng(lat,lng) {
    this.lat = parseFloat(lat);
    this.lng = parseFloat(lng);

    this.__cache = {};
}

LatLng.prototype = {
    toString: function() {
        return [this.lat, this.lng].join(",");
    },

    /**
     * calculate distance in km to another latLng, with caching
     * @param {LatLng} latLng
     * @returns {Number} distance in km
     */
    distanceTo: function(latLng) {
        var cacheKey = latLng.toString();
        if(cacheKey in this.__cache) {
            return this.__cache[cacheKey];
        }

        // the fastest way to calculate the distance, according to this jsperf test;
        // http://jsperf.com/haversine-salvador/8
        // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27928
        var deg2rad = 0.017453292519943295; // === Math.PI / 180
        var lat1 = this.lat * deg2rad;
        var lng1 = this.lng * deg2rad;
        var lat2 = latLng.lat * deg2rad;
        var lng2 = latLng.lng * deg2rad;
        var a = (
            (1 - Math.cos(lat2 - lat1)) +
            (1 - Math.cos(lng2 - lng1)) * Math.cos(lat1) * Math.cos(lat2)
            ) / 2;
        var distance = 12742 * Math.asin(Math.sqrt(a)); // Diameter of the earth in km (2 * 6371)

        // cache the distance
        this.__cache[cacheKey] = distance;

        return distance;
    }
};

下面是另一个转换为Ruby代码的代码:

include Math
#Note: from/to = [lat, long]

def get_distance_in_km(from, to)
  radians = lambda { |deg| deg * Math.PI / 180 }
  radius = 6371 # Radius of the earth in kilometer
  dLat = radians[to[0]-from[0]]
  dLon = radians[to[1]-from[1]]

  cosines_product = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) + Math.cos(radians[from[0]]) * Math.cos(radians[to[1]]) * Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2)

  c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(cosines_product), Math.sqrt(1-cosines_product)) 
  return radius * c # Distance in kilometer
end

我已经创建了这个小Javascript LatLng对象，可能对某人有用。

var latLng1 = new LatLng(5, 3);
var latLng2 = new LatLng(6, 7);
var distance = latLng1.distanceTo(latLng2); 

代码:

        return [this.lat, this.lng].join(",");
    },

    /**

        if(cacheKey in this.__cache) {
            return this.__cache[cacheKey];
        }

        var lat1 = this.lat * deg2rad;
        var lng1 = this.lng * deg2rad;
        var lat2 = latLng.lat * deg2rad;
        var lng2 = latLng.lng * deg2rad;
        var a = (
            (1 - Math.cos(lat2 - lat1)) +
            (1 - Math.cos(lng2 - lng1)) * Math.cos(lat1) * Math.cos(lat2)
            ) / 2;
        var distance = 12742 * Math.asin(Math.sqrt(a)); // Diameter of the earth in km (2 * 6371)

        // cache the distance
        this.__cache[cacheKey] = distance;

        return distance;
    }
};

你可以用Haversine公式计算它，它是:

a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ1 ⋅ cos φ2 ⋅ sin²(Δλ/2)
c = 2 ⋅ atan2( √a, √(1−a) )
d = R ⋅ c

下面给出了一个计算两点之间距离的例子

假设我要计算从新德里到伦敦的距离，那么我该如何使用这个公式:

New delhi co-ordinates= 28.7041° N, 77.1025° E
London co-ordinates= 51.5074° N, 0.1278° W

var R = 6371e3; // metres
var φ1 = 28.7041.toRadians();
var φ2 = 51.5074.toRadians();
var Δφ = (51.5074-28.7041).toRadians();
var Δλ = (0.1278-77.1025).toRadians();

var a = Math.sin(Δφ/2) * Math.sin(Δφ/2) +
        Math.cos(φ1) * Math.cos(φ2) *
        Math.sin(Δλ/2) * Math.sin(Δλ/2);
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));

var d = R * c; // metres
d = d/1000; // km

精确计算中长点之间距离所需的函数是复杂的，陷阱也很多。我不推荐哈弗辛或其他球形的解决方案，因为有很大的不准确性(地球不是一个完美的球体)。vincenty公式更好，但在某些情况下会抛出错误，即使编码正确。

与其自己编写函数，我建议使用geopy，它已经实现了非常精确的地理库来进行距离计算(论文来自作者)。

#pip install geopy
from geopy.distance import geodesic
NY = [40.71278,-74.00594]
Beijing = [39.90421,116.40739]
print("WGS84: ",geodesic(NY, Beijing).km) #WGS84 is Standard
print("Intl24: ",geodesic(NY, Beijing, ellipsoid='Intl 1924').km) #geopy includes different ellipsoids
print("Custom ellipsoid: ",geodesic(NY, Beijing, ellipsoid=(6377., 6356., 1 / 297.)).km) #custom ellipsoid

#supported ellipsoids:
#model             major (km)   minor (km)     flattening
#'WGS-84':        (6378.137,    6356.7523142,  1 / 298.257223563)
#'GRS-80':        (6378.137,    6356.7523141,  1 / 298.257222101)
#'Airy (1830)':   (6377.563396, 6356.256909,   1 / 299.3249646)
#'Intl 1924':     (6378.388,    6356.911946,   1 / 297.0)
#'Clarke (1880)': (6378.249145, 6356.51486955, 1 / 293.465)
#'GRS-67':        (6378.1600,   6356.774719,   1 / 298.25)

这个库的唯一缺点是它不支持向量化计算。 对于向量化计算，您可以使用新的gevectorslib。

#pip install geovectorslib
from geovectorslib import inverse
print(inverse(lats1,lons1,lats2,lons2)['s12'])

lat和lon是numpy数组。Geovectorslib是非常准确和非常快!我还没有找到改变椭球的方法。标准采用WGS84椭球，是大多数用途的最佳选择。

function distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2) { 
    $pi80 = M_PI / 180; 
    $lat1 *= $pi80; $lon1 *= $pi80; $lat2 *= $pi80; $lon2 *= $pi80; 
    $dlat = $lat2 - $lat1; 
    $dlon = $lon2 - $lon1; 
    $a = sin($dlat / 2) * sin($dlat / 2) + cos($lat1) * cos($lat2) * sin($dlon / 2) * sin($dlon / 2);  
    $km = 6372.797 * 2 * atan2(sqrt($a), sqrt(1 - $a)); 
    return $km; 
}
