• Distance Calculation Equations

• Using a Python program to extract distances from lat/long data:
  • I created a text file containing a list of lat/lng coordinates
    and a python program to read the data file and report distances between successive points.
  • execute the python program:
    open a terminal and cd to the folder where your python program and data file are located.
    execute with this command:
    $ sudo python3 distanceFromGPS-03.py

  • 0.0001 deg in latitude = ~36 ft.
  • 0.0001 deg in longitude = ~26 ft.
