Methods
public flat()
 

Returns the approximate flat distance between two coordinates
using Pythagoras’ theorem which is not very accurate.

  • see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem
  • see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equirectangular_projection
  • return float The distance in meters

    public getTo()
     
      public greatCircle()
       

      Returns the approximate distance between two coordinates
      using the spherical trigonometry called Great Circle Distance.

      public haversine()
       

      Returns the approximate sea level great circle (Earth) distance between
      two coordinates using the Haversine formula which is accurate to around 0.3%.

            public vincenty()
             

            Returns geodetic distance between between two coordinates using Vincenty inverse
            formula for ellipsoids which is accurate to within 0.5mm.

            • return float The distance in meters
            Properties
            protected $from = NULL
             

            The origin coordinate.

            • var \CoordinateInterface
            protected $to = NULL
             

            The destination coordinate.

            • var \CoordinateInterface
            protected $unit = NULL
             

            The user unit.

            • var string
            Methods
            protected convertToUserUnit( $meters)
             

            Converts results in meters to user's unit (if any).

            The default returned value is in meters.

            • param float $meters
            • return float
