If you need to calculate the distance between two points or you want to find closest from position to your current location let me introduce haversine-geolocation module. It based on the Haversine Formula:
dlon = lon2 - lon1
dlat = lat2 - lat1
a = (sin(dlat/2))^2 + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * (sin(dlon/2))^2
c = 2 * atan2( sqrt(a), sqrt(1-a) )
d = R * c (where R is the radius of the Earth)
R = 6367 km OR 3956 mi
npm i haversine-geolocation -Simport HaversineGeolocation from 'haversine-geolocation';HaversineGeolocation.isGeolocationAvailable()
.then(data => {
const currentPoint = {
latitude: data.coords.latitude,
longitude: data.coords.longitude,
accuracy: data.coords.accuracy
};
}); (async () => {
const data = await HaversineGeolocation.isGeolocationAvailable();
const currentPoint = {
latitude: data.coords.latitude,
longitude: data.coords.longitude,
accuracy: data.coords.accuracy
};
})();const points = [
{
latitude: 61.5322204,
longitude: 28.7515963
},
{
latitude: 51.9971208,
longitude: 22.1455439
}
];
// Distance in miles
HaversineGeolocation.getDistanceBetween(points[0], points[1], 'mi'); // 704.1 mi
// Distance in meters
HaversineGeolocation.getDistanceBetween(points[0], points[1], 'm'); // 1133062.7 m
// Distance in kilometers(default value)
HaversineGeolocation.getDistanceBetween(points[0], points[1]); // 1133.1 kmWill return all existed properties with a small nested object haversine: { distance: val, measurement: 'val' }
