rhumbDistance

Calculates the distance along a rhumb line between two points in Units

Parameters

• from Coord origin point

• to Coord destination point

• options Object? Optional parameters (optional, default {})

  • options.units Units Supports all valid Turf Units (optional, default 'kilometers')

Examples

var from = turf.point([-75.343, 39.984]);
var to = turf.point([-75.534, 39.123]);
var options = {units: 'miles'};

var distance = turf.rhumbDistance(from, to, options);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [from, to];
from.properties.distance = distance;
to.properties.distance = distance;

Returns number distance between the two points

geolib

Geolib is a library for geospatial calculations. It provides various methods for distance calculations, including great-circle distance and rhumb line distance. Compared to @turf/rhumb-distance, Geolib offers a broader range of geospatial functions but may not be as specialized in rhumb line calculations.

geodesy

Geodesy is a library that provides tools for geodesic calculations. It includes methods for calculating distances, bearings, and other geospatial properties. While it offers comprehensive geodesic calculations, it may require more configuration compared to the straightforward usage of @turf/rhumb-distance.
