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.
Straight-line distance otherwise known as the crow flies is the simplest way of measuring distance between two destinations. However, this distance can be calculated using different formulas based on a variety of assumptions. Pythagorean Theorem or Euclidean Distance. Distance = sqrt((X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2)
The formula for calculating longitude distance is: "Dep = d.long * Cos Mid.Lat" Dep is the same thing as miles. d.Long is the difference in longitude and expressed in minutes. Mid.Lat the average latitude and expressed in minutes.
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.
You can use this distance calculator to find out the distance between two or more points anywhere on the earth. In other words, the distance between A and B. Click once on the map to place the first marker and then click again to position the second marker.
Easily compute the distance between two physical locations in your preferred unit of measure. Get the free "Distance, as the crow flies" widget for your website, blog, Wordpress, Blogger, or iGoogle.
