how to calculate the current speed and average speed of user travelling from current location to particular loaction in map in iphone
I have a situation where i should not use CLLocationManger class.I am g开发者_如何学Pythoniven with two latitude and longitude values(a source and destination).I want find out the heading from these two points in iPhone.How can i do this?
I referred to the formula in this link.But i am not able to get the heading.Please any body help me in calculating the heading
Thank you all in advance.
Here you are. These are 2 functions you can use to calculate distance between 2 Locations.
-(float)getDistanceInKm:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
float lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2;
lat1 = newLocation.coordinate.latitude * M_PI / 180;
lon1 = newLocation.coordinate.longitude * M_PI / 180;
lat2 = oldLocation.coordinate.latitude * M_PI / 180;
lon2 = oldLocation.coordinate.longitude * M_PI / 180;
float R = 6371; // km
float dLat = lat2-lat1;
float dLon = lon2-lon1;
float a = sin(dLat/2) * sin(dLat/2) + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin(dLon/2) * sin(dLon/2);
float c = 2 * atan2(sqrt(a), sqrt(1-a));
float d = R * c;
NSLog(@"Kms-->%f",d);
return d;
}
-(float)getDistanceInMiles:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
float lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2;
lat1 = newLocation.coordinate.latitude * M_PI / 180;
lon1 = newLocation.coordinate.longitude * M_PI / 180;
lat2 = oldLocation.coordinate.latitude * M_PI / 180;
lon2 = oldLocation.coordinate.longitude * M_PI / 180;
float R = 3963; // km
float dLat = lat2-lat1;
float dLon = lon2-lon1;
float a = sin(dLat/2) * sin(dLat/2) + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin(dLon/2) * sin(dLon/2);
float c = 2 * atan2(sqrt(a), sqrt(1-a));
float d = R * c;
NSLog(@"Miles-->%f",d);
return d;
}
Hope it helps.
