Created September 26, 2013 00:38
Get a distance from a location using HTML geolocation
var calculateDistance = function(location1, location2) {
// this is where we want to calculate the distance from. You can of course split this out so that the function
var origin = {longitude:50,latitude:1};
// first calculate the locations into radians.
var radlat1 = Math.PI * location1.latitude/180;
var radlat2 = Math.PI * location2.latitude/180;
var radlon1 = Math.PI * location1.longitude/180;
var radlon2 = Math.PI * location2.longitude/180;
var theta = location2.longitude-location1.latitude;
