The great circle method can be chosen for this. First, convert the latitude and longitude values from decimal degrees to radians and then using the formula given below, the distance between two geo points can be calculated easily.
{code:java}
Formula:
Earth radius, r = 3963 //in miles
//or
Earth radius, r = 6378.8 // in kilometers
Distance, d = r * arccos[(sin(fromLatitude) * sin(toLatitude)) + cos(fromLatitude) * cos(toLatitude) * cos(toLongitude – fromLongitude)]{code}

Formula:
Earth radius, r = 3963 //in miles
//or
Earth radius, r = 6378.8 // in kilometers
Distance, d = 3963.0 * arccos[(sin(fromLatitude) * sin(toLatitude)) + cos(fromLatitude) * cos(toLatitude) * cos(toLongitude – fromLongitude)]{code}

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Suraj Khurana
> Assignee: Suraj Khurana
> Priority: Major
>
> Though there are many third party capabilities available in the form of API's, this can easily be calculated within OFBiz as well.
> This method will be providing direct spatial distance between two geo points.
