Xamarin.forms.googlemaps: Distance between address

[marcosgerene]

Hi,

I just need calculate the distance between my location and an address.
I just need time and distance.
I don't need navigation, maps, multiple routes or anything.

How can I do this?

Thanks

My issue has recieve "enhancement" label, so the library no answer this, right?

Do you have a forecast for implementation?

Should I wait for this or is it better to look another solution?

Thanks

[amay077]

Yes I will add Position.ToDistance(Position) method.
This method like Android's Location.distanceTo method .

But this method does NOT provide Address to Lat/Lon conversion.

@amay077

If I convert the address to lat / lon and call this method, will the result be the distance traveled by a car or straight?

I need the distance traveled by a car ...

Once you have the lat/lon there is a method in Xamarin Essentials Location

Xamarin.Essentials.Location.CalculateDistance(new
Xamarin.Essentials.Location(coord1.Latitude, coord1.Longitude), new
Xamarin.Essentials.Location(coord2.Latitude, coord2.Longitude),
Xamarin.Essentials.DistanceUnits.Kilometers);

or old faithful calculations like Haverstine or Great Circle

Driving distance is a different story.

You use Google's api.

Yeah! So I question about this library...

Thanks

@linda-dge @amay077

The google API has a cost, my client just needs a forecast to know how to order travels by closest to farthest.

This solve my issue:

Xamarin.Essentials.Location.CalculateDistance(new
Xamarin.Essentials.Location(coord1.Latitude, coord1.Longitude), new
Xamarin.Essentials.Location(coord2.Latitude, coord2.Longitude),
Xamarin.Essentials.DistanceUnits.Kilometers);

Thanks

Thanks @linda-dge , @marcosgerene

Xamarin.Essentials.Location.CalculateDistance is the answer!

I don't add Position.ToDistance(Position) method in Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps.
