distance

Description

Calculates the distance between two coordinates in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers. This uses the Haversine formula to account for global curvature.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
from	Coord	origin coordinate
to	Coord	destination coordinate
options?	Object	Optional parameters (default {})
options.units?	string	can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (default 'kilometers')

Returns

number distance between the two coordinates

Examples

var from = turf.point([-75.343, 39.984]);
var to = turf.point([-75.534, 39.123]);
var options = { units: "miles" };

var distance = turf.distance(from, to, options);

Installation

$ npm install @turf/distance

import { distance } from "@turf/distance";
const result = distance(...);

$ npm install @turf/turf

import * as turf from "@turf/turf";
const result = turf.distance(...);
