可能有一个更简单、更正确的解决方案:地球的周长在赤道上是40000公里，在格林威治(或任何经度)周期上约为37000公里。因此:

pythagoras = function (lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2) {
   function sqr(x) {return x * x;}
   function cosDeg(x) {return Math.cos(x * Math.PI / 180.0);}

   var earthCyclePerimeter = 40000000.0 * cosDeg((lat1 + lat2) / 2.0);
   var dx = (lon1 - lon2) * earthCyclePerimeter / 360.0;
   var dy = 37000000.0 * (lat1 - lat2) / 360.0;

   return Math.sqrt(sqr(dx) + sqr(dy));
};

我同意它应该被微调，我自己说过它是一个椭球，所以半径乘以余弦值是不同的。但它更准确一点。与谷歌map相比，误差明显减小。

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});
       }
      }
    });
});
}

FSharp版本，使用里程:

let radialDistanceHaversine location1 location2 : float = 
                let degreeToRadian degrees = degrees * System.Math.PI / 180.0
                let earthRadius = 3959.0
                let deltaLat = location2.Latitude - location1.Latitude |> degreeToRadian
                let deltaLong = location2.Longitude - location1.Longitude |> degreeToRadian
                let a =
                    (deltaLat / 2.0 |> sin) ** 2.0
                    + (location1.Latitude |> degreeToRadian |> cos)
                    * (location2.Latitude |> degreeToRadian |> cos)
                    * (deltaLong / 2.0 |> sin) ** 2.0
                atan2 (a |> sqrt) (1.0 - a |> sqrt)
                * 2.0
                * earthRadius

下面是Erlang实现

lat_lng({Lat1, Lon1}=_Point1, {Lat2, Lon2}=_Point2) ->
  P = math:pi() / 180,
  R = 6371, % Radius of Earth in KM
  A = 0.5 - math:cos((Lat2 - Lat1) * P) / 2 +
    math:cos(Lat1 * P) * math:cos(Lat2 * P) * (1 - math:cos((Lon2 - Lon1) * P))/2,
  R * 2 * math:asin(math:sqrt(A)).

你可以使用CLLocationDistance中的构建来计算这个:

CLLocation *location1 = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:latitude1 longitude:longitude1];
CLLocation *location2 = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:latitude2 longitude:longitude2];
[self distanceInMetersFromLocation:location1 toLocation:location2]

- (int)distanceInMetersFromLocation:(CLLocation*)location1 toLocation:(CLLocation*)location2 {
    CLLocationDistance distanceInMeters = [location1 distanceFromLocation:location2];
    return distanceInMeters;
}

在你的例子中，如果你想要公里，只要除以1000。

在其他答案中，r中的实现是缺失的。

用地质圈包中的distm函数计算两点之间的距离非常简单:

distm(p1, p2, fun = distHaversine)

地点:

p1 = longitude/latitude for point(s)
p2 = longitude/latitude for point(s)
# type of distance calculation
fun = distCosine / distHaversine / distVincentySphere / distVincentyEllipsoid 

由于地球不是完美的球形，所以椭球体的文森提公式可能是计算距离的最佳方法。因此，在地质圈包中，您可以使用:

distm(p1, p2, fun = distVincentyEllipsoid)

当然，你不一定要使用geosphere包，你也可以用一个函数来计算以R为基底的距离:

hav.dist <- function(long1, lat1, long2, lat2) {
  R <- 6371
  diff.long <- (long2 - long1)
  diff.lat <- (lat2 - lat1)
  a <- sin(diff.lat/2)^2 + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin(diff.long/2)^2
  b <- 2 * asin(pmin(1, sqrt(a))) 
  d = R * b
  return(d)
}
