Installation

```
npm install gps-distance

Examples
========
`gps-distance` supports two syntaxes for convenience. You can measure just between two points and supply in your GPS coordinates as direct arguments to distance in the form `(source_lat, source_lon, destination_lat, destination_lon)`, or you can use an array of points each in `[lat,lon]` format. See the examples below.

Measuring Distance From a .GPX File
-----------------------------------
To compute the distance travelled in a tracked GPX file, use `gps-distance` with the `gpx-stream` module ( http://npmjs.org/package/gpx-stream/ ).
```javascript
var GPXstream = require('gpx-stream');
var distance = require('gps-distance');
var points = new GPXstream();
var source = fs.createReadStream('./marathon.gpx');
var path = [];
source.pipe(points);
points.on('readable', function() {
var point;
while(point = points.read()) {
path.push([point.lat, point.lon]);
}
});
points.on('end', function() {
console.log('Distance travelled: ' + distance(path) + ' km');
});
```
Notes
-----
Distances are returned in kilometers and computed using the Haversine formula.
