shane18 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 What is the big difference between $radius = 3959 * acos(sin($lat1) * sin($lat2) + cos($lat1) * cos($lat2) * cos($long2 - $long1)); and a2 + b2 = c2 I know it has something to do with the earth not being perfectly sphere... What is the max amount of miles you can go up to with (a2 + b2 = c2) and it is still accurate.
