ResQ.Core.Location

Location.DistanceTo(Location) Method

Calculates the great-circle distance to another location using the Haversine formula.

public double DistanceTo(ResQ.Core.Location other);

Parameters

other Location The target location to calculate distance to.

Returns

System.Double
The distance in kilometers between this location and the target.

Example

var point1 = new Location(37.7749, -122.4194); // San Francisco
var point2 = new Location(34.0522, -118.2437); // Los Angeles

double distance = point1.DistanceTo(point2);
Console.WriteLine($"Distance: {distance:F2} km"); // Distance: 559.12 km

Remarks

This method uses the Haversine formula to calculate the shortest distance over the earth’s surface, giving an “as-the-crow-flies” distance between the points (ignoring any hills, valleys, or other obstacles). The calculation assumes a spherical earth with a radius of 6,371 kilometers.
