This uses the ‘haversine’ formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points – that is, the shortest distance over the earth’s surface – giving an ‘as-the-crow-flies’ distance between the points (ignoring any hills they fly over, of course!).Haversineformula: a = sin...
In my "native" Android app I'm trying to calculate the distance in feet and/or meters (as the crow flies) between two locations on a map. Ideally there would be a method that would take two LatLng values (as that is what I have readily available) as input and retur...

you can browse throught our website and find your origin and destination. We'll tell you the driving distance in miles and also the 'flight mileage', the distance between the cities as if you could take a direct flight between them, also called straight line or as the crow flies ...
k-means is a statistical clustering technique which aims to find k means, (in this case mean latitude and longitude) for the n data points in a dataset. In its determination of closeness, this method uses “as the crow flies” distances, instead of using an underlying transit network....
Depending on how you plan to use the lat-long calculator for miles, it works great for "as the crow flies" calculations. Unfortunately, not so great for distance calculations for auto or truck mileages. You probably will need to utilize a 3rd party mapping application that can account for ...
That will only apply to those who need exact coordinates. I work in the health care industry, and the minute measurements of the earth's circumference is not going to matter quite so much. This function works for those who need inexact-but-close enough coordinates. ...
What you're using is called the haversine formula, which calculates the distance between two points on a sphere as the crow flies. The Google Maps link you provided shows the distance as 2.2 km because it's not a straight line. Wolfram Alpha is a great resource for doing geographic calcul...
