geodetic-haversine-distance
This function calculates the distance in meters between two latitude/longitude coordinates.
Instead of using a mean radius of Earth, the radius is estimated using the latitude
of the first position.
Install
$ npm install --save geodetic-haversine-distance
Usage
const haversineDistance = require('geodetic-haversine-distance');
const a = { latitude: 59.338746, longitude: 18.060683 };
const b = { latitude: 59.339042, longitude: 18.061779 };
haversineDistance(a, b);
//=> 70.37704048362993
API
