s-haversine
Advanced tools
This module calculates the distance between two points on Earth using lat/long coordinates. It is based on the haversine formula and includes a utility to convert from degrees/minutes/seconds to the signed decimal degrees format needed for the formula to work.
Get a pair of latitude/longitude coordinates (eg. from the geolocation api), then use them as the arguments for the distance method. Example:
var haversine = require('s-haversine');
var lat1 = 36.151829;
var lon1 = -115.143296;
var lat2 = 36.151465
var lon2 = -115.146284;
haversine.distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2); // 271.314... (meters)
Use the toDecimal method if your input is in degrees/minutes/seconds format, such as 40 20 50W or 40°20'50" S.
haversine.toDecimal('40 20 50W'); // -40.34722... (degrees)
