Haversine Algorithm in Javascript

haversine_distance

function haversine_distance(lat1,lat2,R){
  R = R || 6371; // km
  var dLat = (lat2-lat1).toRad();
  var dLon = (lon2-lon1).toRad();
  var lat1 = lat1.toRad();
  var lat2 = lat2.toRad();
  
  var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
          Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.sin(dLon/2) * Math.cos(lat1) * Math.cos(lat2); 
  var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a)); 
  var d = R * c;
