So I'm trying to use the haversine formula in Unity to get the distance between two different points (latitude and longitud given). The code is working (no errors) but I keep gettting a wrong result. I followed the entire formula so I don't really know where the math/code problem is. Any idea?
Here's the code:
public float lat1 = 42.239616f;
public float lat2 = -8.72304f;
public float lon1 = 42.239659f;
public float lon2 = -8.722305f;
void operacion(){
float R = 6371000; // metres
float omega1 = ((lat1/180)*Mathf.PI);
float omega2 = ((lat2/180)*Mathf.PI);
float variacionomega1 = (((lat2 - lat1)/180)*Mathf.PI);
float variacionomega2 = (((lon2 - lon1) / 180) * Mathf.PI);
float a = Mathf.Sin(variacionomega1/2) * Mathf.Sin(variacionomega1/2) +
Mathf.Cos(omega1) * Mathf.Cos(omega2) *
Mathf.Sin(variacionomega2/2) * Mathf.Sin(variacionomega2/2);
float c = 2 * Mathf.Atan2(Mathf.Sqrt(a), Mathf.Sqrt(1-a));
float d = R * c;
}
I think this line is incorrect:
float c = 2 * Mathf.Atan2(Mathf.Sqrt(a), Mathf.Sqrt(1-a));
UPDATED:
The correct way would be:
float c = 2 * Mathf.Asin(Mathf.Sqrt(a));
