Improve this questionI am working on a project in which I have around 100000 addreses in major cities in India(it is a table in a database). I want to know if it is possible to obtain the distances to to nearest landmarks (Mall, Hospital, and Airport etc.). Ideally I want these distances to be mergeed to the parent tab开发者_StackOverflowle. We have Java and Php coders to get it done once we find out how to go about it. Any pointers will be of great help. Thank you.
(I will probably state the obvious here, but, if that is the case, please overlook those points and read on.)
General Distances
("As The Crow Flies" and for Limiting Search/Processing Loads)
Determining Distances Between Two Points can be done within the SQL Database / SELECT statement.
Reference: MySQL Great Circle (Haversine Formula)
SELECT
acos(
cos(radians( $latitude0 ))
* cos(radians( $latitude1 ))
* cos(radians( $longitude0 ) - radians( $longitude1 ))
+ sin(radians( $latitude0 ))
* sin(radians( $latitude1 ))
)*6371 AS greatCircleDistanceKMs
FROM yourTable
That can be used dynamically, if the Lat/Long of the point you are using to compare is likely to change (ie the user's address, etc.), or could be used to perform an UPDATE of a number of files in the event that the point you are using to compare is set (the location of your office, etc.)
If it is to be used dynamically, then it is also recommended that the set of rows this function is run against be limited.
WHERE
searchLatitude BETWEEN latitude+1 AND latitude-1
AND searchLongitude BETWEEN longitude+1 and longitude-1
Which will, essentially, create a 1 degree box around the searchLatitude/searchLongitude point, and reduce the number of calculations required.
Exact Distances
For Final Results
The Google Directions API provides functionality for you to get the actual travelling distance between two points using a simple HTTP Request.
An example URL would be, for "Chhatrapati Shivaji Int'l Airport" to "Taj Mahal Palace & Tower":
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=Chhatrapati+Shivaji+International+Airport&destination=Taj+Mahal+Palace+%26+Tower,+Mahakavi+Bhushan+Road,+Apollo+Bandar+Mumbai&sensor=false
That will return an XML Response of:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
