What you're using is called the haversine formula, which calculates the distance between two points on a sphere as the crow flies. The Google Maps link you provided shows the distance as 2.2 km because it's not a straight line.
The Haversine formula gives the "as-the-crow-flies" distance, i.e., the great circle distance along the surface of the earth. If you take the Euclidean distance between two points in $\mathbb{R}^3$, you are finding the straight-line distance, which will cut through the earth.
Simply enter any desired location into the search function and you will get the shortest distance (air line) between the points, the route (route planner) as well as all important information. Of course, you can also determine distances between coordinates (latitude / longitude).
