通过两个点的经纬度计算距离

从google maps的脚本里扒了段代码，没准啥时会用上。大家一块看看是怎么算的。

 

private const double EARTH_RADIUS = 6378.137;
private static double rad(double d)
{
   return d * Math.PI / 180.0;
}

public static double GetDistance(double lat1, double lng1, double lat2, double lng2)
{
   double radLat1 = rad(lat1);
   double radLat2 = rad(lat2);
   double a = radLat1 - radLat2;
   double b = rad(lng1) - rad(lng2);
   double s = 2 * Math.Asin(Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(Math.Sin(a/2),2) + 
    Math.Cos(radLat1)*Math.Cos(radLat2)*Math.Pow(Math.Sin(b/2),2)));
   s = s * EARTH_RADIUS;
   s = Math.Round(s * 10000) / 10000;
   return s;
}

 

看了通过两个点的经纬度计算距离这篇，据说是Google里扒来的算法，于是决定验证一下。
东改西改改成了个VB的代码，通过计算发现非常正确。
用30,120和31,121两个坐标点进行验证，同Mapinfo中计算的结果非常的相近。
后来又把坐标系直接当成直角坐标系来计算，发现误差很大。
于是仍然用直角坐标系方法来计算，给纬度加上了个0.86的参数，这样计算下来和结果相近。
不上传文件了，直接贴代码了。代码如下：(五个TEXT，三个Button)

 Const  EARTH_RADIUS = 6378.137
Const  Pi = 3.1415926535898

Function rad(ByVal d As Double) As Double
rad = d * Pi / 180
End Function

Function GetDistance(lat1 As Double, lng1 As Double, lat2 As Double, lng2 As Double) As Double
Dim radlat1 As Double, radlat2 As Double
Dim a As Double, b As Double, s As Double, Temp As Double
radlat1 = rad(lat1)
radlat2 = rad(lat2)
a = radlat1 - radlat2
b = rad(lng1) - rad(lng2)
Temp = Sqr(Sin(a / 2) ^ 2 + Cos(radlat1) * Cos(radlat2) * Sin(b / 2) ^ 2)
s = 2 * Atn(Temp / Sqr(-Temp * Temp + 1))     '没有反正弦函数，网上找了个
s = s * EARTH_RADIUS
GetDistance = s
End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text5.Text = Str(GetDistance(Val(Text1.Text), Val(Text2.Text), Val(Text3.Text), Val(Text4.Text)))
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Text5.Text = Str((Sqr((Val(Text3.Text) - Val(Text1.Text)) ^ 2 + (Val(Text4.Text) - Val(Text2.Text)) ^ 2)) * 111.3199338)
End Sub

Private Sub Command3_Click()
Text5.Text = Str((Sqr((Val(Text3.Text) * 0.86 - Val(Text1.Text) * 0.86) ^ 2 + (Val(Text4.Text) - Val(Text2.Text)) ^ 2)) * 111.3199338)
End Sub
