2. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

   Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a). They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, and hence are more accurate than methods that assume a spherical Earth, such ...

3. Haversine formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula

   The haversine formula allows the haversine of θ (that is, hav (θ)) to be computed directly from the latitude (represented by φ) and longitude (represented by λ) of the two points: where. λ1, λ2 are the longitude of point 1 and longitude of point 2. Finally, the haversine function hav (θ), applied above to both the central angle θ and ...

4. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

   The shortest distance between two points in plane is a Cartesian straight line. The Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the distance between points in a plane. Even over short distances, the accuracy of geographic distance calculations which assume a flat Earth depend on the method by which the latitude and longitude coordinates have been ...

5. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

   The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them. This arc is the shortest path between the two points on the surface of the sphere. (By comparison, the shortest path passing through the sphere's interior is the chord between ...

   Google Maps Navigation. Google Maps Navigation is a mobile application developed by Google for the Android and iOS operating systems that later integrated into the Google Maps mobile app. The application uses an Internet connection to a GPS navigation system to provide turn-by-turn voice-guided instructions on how to arrive at a given ...
