I need to work with geohashs. I have to check if a target position as geohash is in the range (distance) of my current position as geohash. Its actually working but I have noticed large range differences. So I have written a Tester where I don't need my database to show you the problem.
Start reading in the GeoTest() function I have defined a start position as lat, lon coordinates and also encoded as geohash.
Then I have put a distance/range value in miles.
With both I can compute the lower and upper geohashs.
With the lower and upper geohashs I could compare geohashs of other places (in firestore) to check if they are in the the range or not. At this point there are wrong results. For example a place is in 600 mile distance but at 320 mile the result is already its in range. Thats wrong.
I decode the upper and lower again to the lat, lon values and compute the distance just on the coordinates (not geohashs) to show you the difference and that the distance is nearly doubled up. Sometimes its higher as factor 2, sometimes lower. Its different if I chose different distance values.
In my opinion if I put in 10 miles distance, encode the ranges and decode them to recalculate the distance it should stay 10 miles. Maybe some small difference because of roundings but no 20.37, thats twice as high as expected.
The question is now, why is the distance after decoding higher as before? Did I miss some calculation anywhere?
So I can't check exactly if positions are in the given range of or not.
I know in client code I could work on coordinates only but the places are given as geohashs in firestore and I have to fetch the places which are in the range directly from there without filtering on client side. So thats not an option and I think it could work if I had the right Math. Thank you.

Hi as stated above my output keeps showing up as NaN and I'm really struggling to fix it.
There are ultimately three classes that will touch the code. App.js, Calculate.js, and Calculations.js where all of the functions are stored. In Calculate.js, I am importing two functions from Calculations.js with the hopes of producing their output after data is taken in from four input fields and a button press. The code for all three files is below.Please help, I truly am lost now.
Edit: it should be noted the calculations were given to us and are basically unmodifiable.

So apparently I have had a misunderstanding on what state is and how it is used. The working button should read as the following:
<Button
title={buttonTitle}
onPress = {() =>{updateStateObject({
distance: `Distance: ${computeDistance( parseFloat(lat1), parseFloat(lon1), parseFloat(lat2), parseFloat(lon2))}`,
bearing: `Bearing: ${computeBearing( parseFloat(lat1), parseFloat(lon1), parseFloat(lat2), parseFloat(lon2))}`,
})

I tried to create a lucky draw wheel using reactjs, first, I need to place all the input data to a certain XY position. Below is the expected output XY position example what I need.
var renderData = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12"];
React.createElement('div', { className: '_data'},
renderData.map((index,item)=>{
var itemPosition = index / renderData.length * 360;
var itemX = itemPosition * Math.PI/180;
var itemY = itemPosition * Math.PI/180;
return React.createElement('div', { className: '_items',
style:{top:itemX,left:itemY}
},item);
})
)
So I use createElement to create div for each of the data, then using top and left for XY position.
How to calculate the XY position for each div
Update
After tried the #keikai answer
var renderData = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12"];
const r = 350;
const len = renderData.length;
const radiusList = renderData.map(x => (360 / len) * (x - 1));
const positionPairList = radiusList.map(x => ({
x: Math.sin((Math.PI * x) / 180) * r,
y: Math.cos((Math.PI * x) / 180) * r
}));
React.createElement('div', { className: '_data'},
renderData.map((item, index) => {
return React.createElement('div', { className: `_items`,
style:{top:`${positionPairList[index].x.toFixed(2)}px`,left:`${positionPairList[index].y.toFixed(2)}px`}
},item);
})
)
all data are rotated 0deg
child div still not place to the right position inside parent div
for clockwise, it starts from 10?
Update: rotate display with clock styles
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import "./styles.css";
function App() {
const n = 12;
const r = 500;
const radiusList = Array.from(Array(n).keys()).map(x => (360 / n) * x);
const positionPairList = radiusList.map(item => ({
x: Math.sin((Math.PI * item) / 180) * r,
y: Math.cos((Math.PI * item) / 180) * r
}));
return (
<div className="App">

How do you calculate the distance between two markers in Google maps V3? (Similar to the distanceFrom function inV2.)
Thanks..
If you want to calculate it yourself, then you can use the Haversine formula:
var rad = function(x) {
return x * Math.PI / 180;
};
var getDistance = function(p1, p2) {
var R = 6378137; // Earth’s mean radius in meter
var dLat = rad(p2.lat() - p1.lat());
var dLong = rad(p2.lng() - p1.lng());
var a = Math.sin(dLat / 2) * Math.sin(dLat / 2) +
Math.cos(rad(p1.lat())) * Math.cos(rad(p2.lat())) *
Math.sin(dLong / 2) * Math.sin(dLong / 2);
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));
var d = R * c;
return d; // returns the distance in meter
};
There actually seems to be a method in GMap3. It's a static method of the google.maps.geometry.spherical namespace.
It takes as arguments two LatLng objects and will utilize a default Earth radius of 6378137 meters, although the default radius can be overridden with a custom value if necessary.
Make sure you include:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&v=3&libraries=geometry"></script>
in your head section.
The call will be:
google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween (latLngA, latLngB);
Example using GPS latitude/longitude of 2 points.
var latitude1 = 39.46;
var longitude1 = -0.36;
var latitude2 = 40.40;
var longitude2 = -3.68;
var distance = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(new google.maps.LatLng(latitude1, longitude1), new google.maps.LatLng(latitude2, longitude2));
Just add this to the beginning of your JavaScript code:
google.maps.LatLng.prototype.distanceFrom = function(latlng) {
var lat = [this.lat(), latlng.lat()]
var lng = [this.lng(), latlng.lng()]
var R = 6378137;
var dLat = (lat[1]-lat[0]) * Math.PI / 180;
var dLng = (lng[1]-lng[0]) * Math.PI / 180;
var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
Math.cos(lat[0] * Math.PI / 180 ) * Math.cos(lat[1] * Math.PI / 180 ) *
Math.sin(dLng/2) * Math.sin(dLng/2);
var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
var d = R * c;
return Math.round(d);
}
and then use the function like this:
var loc1 = new GLatLng(52.5773139, 1.3712427);
var loc2 = new GLatLng(52.4788314, 1.7577444);
var dist = loc2.distanceFrom(loc1);
alert(dist/1000);
//p1 and p2 are google.maps.LatLng(x,y) objects
function calcDistance(p1, p2) {
var d = (google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(p1, p2) / 1000).toFixed(2);
console.log(d);
}
Here is the c# implementation of the this forumula
public class DistanceAlgorithm

const double PIx = 3.141592653589793;

double a = (Math.Sin(dlat / 2) * Math.Sin(dlat / 2)) + Math.Cos(Radians(lat1)) * Math.Cos(Radians(lat2)) * (Math.Sin(dlon / 2) * Math.Sin(dlon / 2));
double angle = 2 * Math.Atan2(Math.Sqrt(a), Math.Sqrt(1 - a));
return (angle * RADIO) * 0.62137;//distance in miles
}
}
With google you can do it using the spherical api, google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween (latLngA, latLngB);.
However, if the precision of a spherical projection or a haversine solution is not precise enough for you (e.g. if you're close to the pole or computing longer distances), you should use a different library.
Most information on the subject I found on Wikipedia here.
A trick to see if the precision of any given algorithm is adequate is to fill in the maximum and minimum radius of the earth and see if the difference might cause problems for your use case. Many more details can be found in this article
In the end the google api or haversine will serve most purposes without problems.
Using PHP, you can calculate the distance using this simple function :
// to calculate distance between two lat & lon
function calculate_distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2, $unit='N')
{
$theta = $lon1 - $lon2;
$dist = sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2)) + cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta));
$dist = acos($dist);
$dist = rad2deg($dist);
$miles = $dist * 60 * 1.1515;
$unit = strtoupper($unit);
if ($unit == "K") {
return ($miles * 1.609344);
} else if ($unit == "N") {
return ($miles * 0.8684);
} else {
return $miles;
}
}
// function ends here

In my case it was best to calculate this in SQL Server, since i wanted to take current location and then search for all zip codes within a certain distance from current location. I also had a DB which contained a list of zip codes and their lat longs. Cheers

I found a version online which is 80% right but plugged in the wrong parameter and is inconsistent in using the inputs, this version fixed that completely
It's Quite easy using Google Distance Matrix service
First step is to activate Distance Matrix service from google API console.
it returns distances between a set of locations.
And apply this simple function
function initMap() {
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds;
var markersArray = [];
var origin1 = {lat:23.0203, lng: 72.5562};
//var origin2 = 'Ahmedabad, India';
var destinationA = {lat:23.0436503, lng: 72.55008939999993};
//var destinationB = {lat: 23.2156, lng: 72.6369};
var destinationIcon = 'https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?' +
'chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=D|FF0000|000000';

Where origin1 is your location and destinationA is destindation location.you can add above two or more data.

To calculate distance on Google Maps, you can use Directions API. That will be one of the easiest way to do it. To get data from Google Server, you can use Retrofit or Volley. Both has their own advantage. Take a look at following code where I have used retrofit to implement it:
private void build_retrofit_and_get_response(String type) {
String url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/";
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(url)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
RetrofitMaps service = retrofit.create(RetrofitMaps.class);
Call<Example> call = service.getDistanceDuration("metric", origin.latitude + "," + origin.longitude,dest.latitude + "," + dest.longitude, type);
call.enqueue(new Callback<Example>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Response<Example> response, Retrofit retrofit) {
try {
//Remove previous line from map
if (line != null) {
line.remove();
}
// This loop will go through all the results and add marker on each location.
for (int i = 0; i < response.body().getRoutes().size(); i++) {
String distance = response.body().getRoutes().get(i).getLegs().get(i).getDistance().getText();
String time = response.body().getRoutes().get(i).getLegs().get(i).getDuration().getText();
ShowDistanceDuration.setText("Distance:" + distance + ", Duration:" + time);
String encodedString = response.body().getRoutes().get(0).getOverviewPolyline().getPoints();
List<LatLng> list = decodePoly(encodedString);
line = mMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
.addAll(list)
.width(20)
.color(Color.RED)
.geodesic(true)
);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("onResponse", "There is an error");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
Log.d("onFailure", t.toString());
}
});
}
Above is the code of function build_retrofit_and_get_response for calculating distance. Below is corresponding Retrofit Interface:
package com.androidtutorialpoint.googlemapsdistancecalculator;
import com.androidtutorialpoint.googlemapsdistancecalculator.POJO.Example;
import retrofit.Call;
import retrofit.http.GET;
import retrofit.http.Query;
public interface RetrofitMaps {
/*
* Retrofit get annotation with our URL
* And our method that will return us details of student.
*/
#GET("api/directions/json?key=AIzaSyC22GfkHu9FdgT9SwdCWMwKX1a4aohGifM")
Call<Example> getDistanceDuration(#Query("units") String units, #Query("origin") String origin, #Query("destination") String destination, #Query("mode") String mode);
}
I hope this explains your query. All the best :)

First, are you referring to distance as in length of the entire path or you want to know only the displacement (straight line distance)? I see no one is pointing the difference between distance and displacement here. For distance calculate each route point given by JSON/XML data, as for displacement there is a built-in solution using Spherical class
//calculates distance between two points in km's
function calcDistance(p1, p2) {
return (google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(p1, p2) / 1000).toFixed(2);
}
In PHP, with Google Map Distance Matrix API:
//Get the Driving(Mode) distance between two Geo-location points(Latitude, Longitude) pair.
function get_distance($lat1, $lat2, $long1, $long2)
{
$url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=".$lat1.",".$long1."&destinations=".$lat2.",".$long2."&mode=driving"."&units=imperial";
//You can request distance data for different travel modes, request distance data in different units such as kilometers or miles, and estimate travel time in traffic.
try{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, 3128);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$response_a = json_decode($response, true);
//Invalid request OR Empty response
if(isset($response_a['error_message']) || empty($response_a['rows']))
throw new Exception($response_a['error_message']);
} catch(Exception $e){
//Handle error here.
return [];
}
//The unit parameter in the request URL only affects the text displayed within distance fields. The distance fields in response also contain values that are always expressed in meters.
$dist = $response_a['rows'][0]['elements'][0]['distance']['text'];
$time = $response_a['rows'][0]['elements'][0]['duration']['text'];
return ['distance' => $dist, 'time' => $time];
}
