i am very new to Google maps i want calculate the distance between two places in android .for that i get the two places lat and lag positions for that i write the following code:
private double getDistance(double lat1, double lat2, double lon1, double lon2) {
double dLat = Math.toRadians(lat2 - lat1);
double dLon = Math.toRadians(lon2 - lon1);
double a = Math.sin(dLat / 2) * Math.sin(dLat / 2)
+ Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat1))
* Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat2)) * Math.sin(dLon / 2)
* Math.sin(dLon / 2);
double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));
double temp = 6371 * c;
temp=temp*0.621;
return temp;
}
the above code cant give the accurate distance between two places .what is the another way to find distance please give me any suggestions thanks in advance....
