I have used the algorithm on http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html to find the distance between two points.
My two points are
long1 = 51.507467;
lat1 = -0.08776;
long2 = 51.508736;
lat2 = -0.08612;
According to Movable Type Script the answer is 0.1812km
My application gives the result (d) as 0.230km code...

I want to make a apps that check what's the nearest place from where the user is. I can easily get the location of the user and I have a list of places with latitude and longitude. What would be the best way to know the nearest place of the list against the current position. I could not find anything in the google APIs. I am worried I need to resort to my calculate and have to do math to calculate it.

View 2 Replies View Related1) I have not been able to find out in which units Location.distance Between receives the latitude and longitude. Is it degrees or micro degrees? Whats the unit for the distance returned? 2) In windows XP using Eclipse 3.3.2. Emulator does not send coordinates properly. Either it by hand or by loading a gpx file the location Listener is not invoked. This same code I have tried it in Ubuntu and works fine. Does someone know how can I solve this? In the office there is no linux installed and I can take my personal laptop.

I am using the Location class distanceTo() function to calculate distance between two location the current one and the one from the database.
CODE:............
This work fine and i am able to use this distance to calculate proximity in the rest of my app, but the distance it self is not apparently in meters i am getting result like 4134801.4 i am sure that the distance is 3200meters in this case.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I develop an Android map application, I want to draw a circle on the map whose radius is 1 meter. As you known, I can't draw 1 meter directly, I should convert 1 meter to the distance of two pixels depend on the zoom level. How to I convert it, is there anything API I can use.
Canvas.draw(x, y, radius), what value should I put to this method ?
I can easily find long/lat of my current location. Once I do that, I would like to find long/lat information for locations at distance X from y current location. Does anyone have suggestion(s) on how to do this using Android SDK methods?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if the Location.distanceTo method will use the accuracy field of the Location object when approximates the location, or do I have to add by my own the errors to these fields. The usage is to compare the distance against a proximity value.
Float dist=currentLocation.distanceTo(loc2); Would this be if (dist<100meters) or
if (dist+currentLocation.getAccuracy()+loc2.getAccuracy()<100meters)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wrote some reverse geocoding, geolocation and proximity alert routines for my little Android app. I took my Android out with me when running errands to test my routines; they're kinda hard to test from my couch. Half of them didn't work. What's the best way to debug something like this? Sprinkle a bunch of printf statements (or whatever you call them in Java) throughout the app? Log everything to the sdcard? Write a toggleable view (is that even possible?) that acts as a console? Faber Fedor Cloud Computing New Jersey http://cloudcomputingnj.com
