Python Script to calculate the distance between two points from Lat/Lon Coordinates
####IPython Notebook
python LatLon2Meter.py 38.7436265 -9.1602036 52.5075419 13.4261418is doin this for you:
Calculating Distance from 1600-046 Lisbon, Portugal to 10179 Berlin, Germany
Entfernung aus Pythagoras: 2331854.029m (ca. 2331km)
Entfernung aus Seitencosinus: 2314672.226m (ca. 2314km)
Berechnung über Pythagoras macht -17.18km (0.74%) Fehler.
'Distance.png' saved. Done.
The coordinates (Lat/Lon) have to be in Decimal Degrees, not in DD°mm'ssss''
Calculates the distance between two points with three different methods:
- Pythagoras
- Great Circle via Cosine (better)
- Haversine Formula
- Matplotlib Basemap for Globe output
- requests for Reverse-Geoencoding of the Lat/Lon Coordinates to Adress
Calculates the Error, made with Pythagoras instead of Haversine formula.
