对于任何寻找Delphi/Pascal版本的人:

function GreatCircleDistance(const Lat1, Long1, Lat2, Long2: Double): Double;
var
  Lat1Rad, Long1Rad, Lat2Rad, Long2Rad: Double;
const
  EARTH_RADIUS_KM = 6378;
begin
  Lat1Rad  := DegToRad(Lat1);
  Long1Rad := DegToRad(Long1);
  Lat2Rad  := DegToRad(Lat2);
  Long2Rad := DegToRad(Long2);
  Result   := EARTH_RADIUS_KM * ArcCos(Cos(Lat1Rad) * Cos(Lat2Rad) * Cos(Long1Rad - Long2Rad) + Sin(Lat1Rad) * Sin(Lat2Rad));
end;

我对这个代码没有任何功劳，我最初是在一个公共论坛上发现Gary William发布的。

这取决于你需要它有多准确。如果你需要精确到毫米的精度，最好看看使用椭球的算法，而不是球体，比如Vincenty的算法。

Unity版本c#

Haversine Algorithm。

public float Distance(float lat1, float lon1, float lat2, float lon2)
{
    var earthRadiusKm = 6371;

    var dLat = (lat2 - lat1) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
    var dLon = (lon2 - lon1) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

    var a = Mathf.Sin(dLat / 2) * Mathf.Sin(dLat / 2) +
            Mathf.Sin(dLon / 2) * Mathf.Sin(dLon / 2) * 
            Mathf.Cos(lat1 * Mathf.Rad2Deg) * Mathf.Cos(lat2 * Mathf.Rad2Deg);

    var c = 2 * Mathf.Atan2(Mathf.Sqrt(a), Mathf.Sqrt(1 - a));
    return earthRadiusKm * c;
}

我猜你想让它沿着地球的曲率运动。你的两点和地心在一个平面上。地球的中心是这个平面上的圆心，这两个点(大致)在这个圆的周长上。由此你可以通过求一点到另一点的角度来计算距离。

如果点的高度不一样，或者如果你需要考虑地球不是一个完美的球体，这就有点困难了。

下面是Kotlin的一个变种:

import kotlin.math.*

class HaversineAlgorithm {

    companion object {
        private const val MEAN_EARTH_RADIUS = 6371.008
        private const val D2R = Math.PI / 180.0
    }

    private fun haversineInKm(lat1: Double, lon1: Double, lat2: Double, lon2: Double): Double {
        val lonDiff = (lon2 - lon1) * D2R
        val latDiff = (lat2 - lat1) * D2R
        val latSin = sin(latDiff / 2.0)
        val lonSin = sin(lonDiff / 2.0)
        val a = latSin * latSin + (cos(lat1 * D2R) * cos(lat2 * D2R) * lonSin * lonSin)
        val c = 2.0 * atan2(sqrt(a), sqrt(1.0 - a))
        return MEAN_EARTH_RADIUS * c
    }
}

我需要在PowerShell中实现这个，希望它可以帮助其他人。 关于这种方法的一些注意事项

Don't split any of the lines or the calculation will be wrong To calculate in KM remove the * 1000 in the calculation of $distance Change $earthsRadius = 3963.19059 and remove * 1000 in the calculation of $distance the to calulate the distance in miles I'm using Haversine, as other posts have pointed out Vincenty's formulae is much more accurate Function MetresDistanceBetweenTwoGPSCoordinates($latitude1, $longitude1, $latitude2, $longitude2) { $Rad = ([math]::PI / 180); $earthsRadius = 6378.1370 # Earth's Radius in KM $dLat = ($latitude2 - $latitude1) * $Rad $dLon = ($longitude2 - $longitude1) * $Rad $latitude1 = $latitude1 * $Rad $latitude2 = $latitude2 * $Rad $a = [math]::Sin($dLat / 2) * [math]::Sin($dLat / 2) + [math]::Sin($dLon / 2) * [math]::Sin($dLon / 2) * [math]::Cos($latitude1) * [math]::Cos($latitude2) $c = 2 * [math]::ATan2([math]::Sqrt($a), [math]::Sqrt(1-$a)) $distance = [math]::Round($earthsRadius * $c * 1000, 0) #Multiple by 1000 to get metres Return $distance }
