Finding Points Within a Distance of a Latitude/Longitude Using Bounding Coordinates

This JavaScript implementation was build up via Jan Matuscheks Java Implementation.

I've tried to implement everything so that the look and feel seems to be the same.

Install

$ npm install GeoLocationHelper

How to Use

Create a new GeoLocation Object

var geoLocation = require('GeoLocation')
// From Degrees
var geoLocCapeTown = geoLocation.fromDegrees(-33.925278, 18.423889)
// From Radians
var myLocation = geoLocation.fromRadians(1.3963, -0.6981)

Get the distance between two locations

var earthRadius = 6371.01
console.log(geoLocCapeTown.distanceTo(myLocation, earthRadius))
