Crystal implementation of the Haversine formula to calculate distances between two points given their latitudes and longitudes.

Installation

  1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

    dependencies:
      haversine:
        github: geocrystal/haversine
    
  2. Run shards install

Usage

require "haversine"

Distance

Calling Haversine.distance with four latitude/longitude coordinates returns a Haversine::Distance object which can provide output in kilometers, meters, miles, feet, or nautical miles.

Each "coordinates" member must be a pair of coordinates - latitude and longitude.

Haversine.distance accepts of either:

  • Haversine.distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2)
  • Haversine.distance({lat1, lon1}, {lat2, lon2})
  • Haversine.distance([lat1, lon1], [lat2, lon2])
# Tokyo -> Paris
distance = Haversine.distance(35.61488, 139.5813, 48.85341, 2.3488)

distance.to_kilometers     # => 9715.470491159029
distance.to_meters         # => 9715470.491159027
distance.to_miles          # => 6032.710918698025
distance.to_feet           # => 31852713.65072557
distance.to_nautical_miles # => 5242.2799481204265

If you have latitude/longitude pairs stored in an array or tuple, you can alternately provide two arrays/tuples when calling Haversine.distance:

london = [51.500153, -0.126236]
new_york = [40.714268, -74.005974]

distance = Haversine.distance(new_york, london)
distance.to_kilometers # => 5570.482153929098

london = {51.500153, -0.126236}
new_york = {40.714268, -74.005974}

distance = Haversine.distance(new_york, london)
distance.to_kilometers # => 5570.482153929098

Also you can compare Haversine::Distance objects:

london = [51.500153, -0.126236]
new_york = [40.714268, -74.005974]
shanghai = [31.222220, 121.458060]

distance1 = Haversine.distance(london, new_york)
distance2 = Haversine.distance(london, shanghai)

distance1 < distance2 # => true

Destination

Takes the starting point by latitude, longitude and calculates the location of a destination point given a distance factor in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers; and bearing in degrees.

Haversine.destination(39, -75, 5000, 90, :kilometers)
# => {26.440010707631124, -22.885355549364313}
